The statue of Augustus Primaporta was crafted in the early 1st century AD, likely using the lost-wax casting technique for its bronze version, while the marble copies were carved from large blocks of fine quality marble.

The statue served both as a political symbol and as a means to promote Augustus' image as a powerful and benevolent leader.
