EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a copperplate engraving of the renowned Statue of Roman Emperor Augustus in armor, as it is preserved in the esteemed collection of Rufini, Bishop of Malfi. The statue, a testament to the grandeur and power of ancient Roman civilization, was created during the reign of Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD), the first Roman Emperor. Augustus, known for his military prowess and political acumen, is depicted here in full armor, symbolizing his role as a mighty warrior-leader. The intricate details of the armor, with its overlapping plates and intricate patterns, are beautifully rendered in this engraving, providing a glimpse into the advanced metallurgy and craftsmanship of the Roman Empire. The illustration for this engraving was originally created by the skilled artist Gio. Petrini, based on the actual statue housed in the prestigious Capitoline Museum in Rome, Italy. The museum, Il Museo Capitolino, is a treasure trove of ancient Roman art and artifacts, and this statue of Augustus is one of its most prized possessions. The engraving, produced in 1820 by Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabili, serves as a faithful reproduction of Petrini's original illustration, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of the statue from a new perspective. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the golden age of the Roman Empire and the reign of its first emperor, Augustus.
