(140.3 cm) Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hanes.1986 (86.4) 34 In its complete state, this statue stood almost eight feet tall. It depicts a Roman emperor (probably one of the Julio-Claudian dynasty descended from Augustus) in a pose characteristic of the god Jupiter. This type of pose—semi-nude with a mantle draped around the lower body—became popular for the portrayal of the father of the gods in the fifth century B.C. in Greece. During the early Roman Empire, the emperors adopted the pose for their official portraits to infuse their political role with divine associations. Such statues usually stood in public areas, such as the forum of a city or town, to visually affirm the emperor's connection to every Roman citizen.
