op of the 'augustus of prima porta statue: smash or pass' post turned off reblogs just as i was about to reblog it and then tumblr glitched and logged me out when i tried making an independent post on my thoughts. literally 1984
#anyway at first i was hesitant bcos augustus of prima porta is such a huge part of roman culture#and even if augustus wasnt The Most imperial roman ruler he sure as shit wasnt Not imperial#plus in my latin art + architecture classes we studied this specific statue pointing out all the traits of augustan propaganda#so i thought id b too caught up in thinking about both of those to give it a whack#but then i got thinking like. if its the Real Actual augustus of prima porta (the og bronze or the marble copy idc)#then thats like. a hugely historic impactful and famous piece of art#which Continues to be a symbol of glorious noble leaders#and fucking THAT would be an achievement. thats something you can brag about#like lolll i deflowered your awesome monument to expansionary empires and imperial hierarchy#and make no mistake *i* am corrupting *it*. gonna get arrested for vandalism for carving degrading remarks on its face
