| 説明 | Tiberian age.Parian marble with traces of polychromy, copy of bronze original.From the villa of Livia "ad gallinas albas" at Prima Porta on the Via Flaminia, found on April 20, 1863; donated by Francesco Senni to Pius IX in 1863 and placed in the Braccio Nuovo.The statue's iconography commemorates Augustus's establishment of the Pax Romana. The breastplate is carved in relief with numerous small figures depicting the return, thanks to the diplomacy of Augustus, of the Roman legionary eagles or aquilae lost to Parthia by Mark Antony in the 40s BC and by Crassus in 53 BC.The figure in the centre is the subjected Parthian king returning Crassus's standard to an armored Roman (possibly Tiberius, or symbolically Mars Ultor). This was a very popular subject in Augustan propaganda, as one of his greatest international successes, and had to be especially strongly emphasized, since Augustus had been deterred by Parthian military strength from the war which the Roman people had expected and had instead opted for diplomacy. To the left and right sit mourning female figures. A figure to one side with a sheathed sword personifies the peoples in the East (and possibly the Teutons) forced to pay tribute to Rome, and one on the other side with an unsheathed sword personifies the subjected peoples (the Celts). From the top, clockwise, we see:- Caelus, the sky god, spreading the tent of the sky- Aurora and Luna- the personification of the subjected peoples- the goddess Diana- the earth goddess Ceres/Tellus - Apollo, Augustus's patron- the personification of the tributary peoples- the sun god Sol- a Sphinx on each shoulder, representing the defeat of Cleopatra by Augustus |
