LIFELIKE STUD! BY SRTIST
Valuable Addition to Portraits of Roman Emperors and Is Only OneExtant Done During Emperor's Life. Rome.—Tivoli, that lovely little city perched above Rome, culled Ttbur by the ancient Romans, bus Just given to the archaeological world two new art treasures—an uugusteum, or ball, and a splendid bead of Emperor Augustus. 1'ruf. Alessio Valle, one of the archaeologists who have made Tivoli a special study, long believed that Uvoli should reveal an undent ball of importance, considering the flourishing slate of the city in Roman days, lie began to dig near a newly discovered weights and measures uftlce, also dating from the Roman empire, thinking that the public weights and measures must surely he near some Important hull. He was not mistaken. He has opened up a hull wiih a Roman pavement of white and green marble which looks as If It were put down tills morning, so fresn is it, ami the statue of Augustus, broken but with the head intact, us the picture shows, with the lifelike lines cut out of the marble by some unknown sculptor of evident genius. Likeness of Augustus. The statue is a likeness of Augustus when he had grown old. An inscription underneath It, which dedicates tlie statue to the gods, "for the huppj return in good health of our Augustus Caesar," proves it was done during the famous emperor's lifetime, a votive ottering to the gods by a loyal Tivoli citizen who signs himself M. Verutius DilQIus. Tlie same ninu gave tlie public weights and measures to tlie city. History lets us date this statue between it. C. 31 and A. 14. Id, when Kinperor Augustus died near Naples, aged seventy-six. experts say the face is the face of a man of lifty. In the worn lines, tlie Ill-tempered mouth. Its upward twist at the left side, we have no tlatterUig picture of the great emperor, but a lifelike study by an artist who dared to cut Ids statue as he saw the human model. For tins reason, and heeuuse of Its surely being done in Augustus’ lifetime. It is u very valuable addition to the collection of portraits of the Roman eniperors, ami probably tlie only one extant of Augustus done during ills lifetime*. The figure, which originally sat on the pedestal at tlie heud of tlie hail, is graceful, as Suetolus, that gossipy historian from whom later scribes have learned nearly all they know about the Roman emperors, told us, saying: Graceful Person. "He was a very graceful person through all the stages of life, though lie was very careless in Ids dress ami would set several barbers to work upon Ids hulr together, and would sometimes clip and sometimes shave Ids beard, and at tlie same time would he reading or writing." Augustus, though emperor, called himself a democrat and, says Suetoius, “always abhorred the title of lord as a scandalous affront." He tells us, too, that the emperor caught cold easily and wore woolen underwear in winter, "with a thick wool toga.” Tills broken statue, with the base on which It stood, unearthed afier so long bridges the gulf of centuries and brings one of the greatest rulers the world ever saw very near.
