  • Caesar Augustus Octavian from Centuripe

    Originally discovered in 1938 by a road laborer during excavation work in the town of Centuripe, the bust of Augustus has been described as “the most beautiful portrait of the emperor ever found in Sicily”. Experts tell us that the bust is similar to the statue of Augustus found in the villa of his wife Livia in Prima Porta, and now in the Vatican Museums.
