Caesar Augustus Bust
The Caesar Augustus bust is 26" tall and weighs approximately 120 pounds. On this particular piece he has fairly wide ears -- it is more noticeable when looking from the back side (see picture above).
History of this BustAugustus, born Gaius Octavius Thurinus and prior to 27 BC, known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus after adoption, was the first emperor of the Roman Empire, who ruled from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. The young Octavius was adopted by his great uncle, Julius Caesar, and came into his inheritance after Caesar's assassination in 44 BC. Augustus, perhaps the single most important figure in Roman history, is credited with stopping the decay of the Roman Republic and initiating an era of relative peace which lasted more than two centuries.

Timeless Works of Art
Each of our marble busts are carved from solid marble. The white marble is a premium hunan marble which is white with a soft, light gray veining. All of our busts and statues are carved by hand, so each one will be a beautiful and unique piece of art.

Since our busts and statues are carved from solid marble (not cast from bonded marble or any synthetics) they are safe to use outdoors exposed in weather. The weight of the bust will vary depending on the pose and height, but in general the approximate weights are: 20-22" Tall - 80 pounds; 23-24" Tall - 100 pounds; 25-26" tall - 120 pounds; 27-28" tall - 150 pounds; 29-30" tall - 180 pounds.
