Carved History

May 23, 2012 Martha Lattie
Gemma Augustea, Roman, Early 1st century CE, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

To memorialize his triumph over the "barbarians" this carved cameo was created that shows the Emperor Augustus receiving the crown of victory and seated among the gods on the upper level, while his soldiers handle the captives below.
