Description

X 23322. Statue of the emperor Augustos (29BC - AD 14). Bronze. Found in the Aegean sea between the islands of Euboea and Agios Efstratios. The emperor is depicted in mature age, mounting a horse. He wears a tunica decorated with a meander pattern. Iconographic features of the Prima Porta gesture of official greeting. The hilt of his sword can be seen below the left hand, in which he held the horse's reigns. On the bezel of his finger-ring a staff of divination (lituus) is engraved, symbolizing the supreme religious office of Pontifex Maximus, assumed by Augustus in 12 BC. 12-10 BC. National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece. --- Χ. 23322. Άγαλμα του αυτοκράτορα Οκταβιανού Αυγούστου (29 π.Χ. - 14 μ.Χ.). Χαλκός. Βρέθηκε στο Αιγαίο, μεταξύ των νησιών Εύβοιας και Αγίου Ευστρατίου. Ο αυτοκράτορας απεικονίζεται έφιππος, σε προχωρημένη ηλικία. Φορεί χιτώνα (tunica) με κατακόρυφη πορφυρή ταινία (clavus purpurea) και χλαμύδα (palydamntum). με κροσσωτή απόληξη και διακόσμηση με μαίανδρο. Συνδυάζει εικονογραφικά στοιχεία των τύπων Prima Porta και Ακτίου. Το δεξί χέρι υψώνεται σε χειρονομία επίσημου χαιρετισμού. Κάτω από το αριστερό, με το οποίο κρατούσε τα ηνία του αλόγου, διακρίνεται η λαβή ξίφους. Στη σφενδόνη του δαχτυλιδίου του διακρίνεται αγχάρακτο το ραβδί οιωνισκόπου (lituus), σύμβολο του αξιώματος του Pontifex Maximus, ανώτατης ιερατικής εξουσίας την οποία ο Αύγουστος έλαβε το 12 π.Χ. 12-10 π.Χ.
