Augustus of Primaporta is a freestanding sculpture that portrays Emperor Augustus in an idealized form, emphasizing his divine lineage and military prowess, while also serving as a political statement about his role as a leader. In contrast, Trajan's Column is a monumental structure that features a continuous frieze wrapping around it, depicting the story of Trajan's victories in the Dacian Wars, thus functioning as a narrative monument celebrating military achievements. While Augustus of Primaporta focuses on the individual ruler's idealized image, Trajan's Column highlights a historical narrative through its intricate carvings.
