Romans in Ephesus - Augustus and Livia - III

These statues of Emperor Augustus and his wife, Livia, were discovered in fragments in a room at the eastern entrance to the Stoa Basilica, to the north of the State Agora of Ephesus. The room where they were found served as the Ceremonial Hall of the Basilica. The basilica of Ephesus was demolished in the Early Byzantine Period. It is possible that the imperial statues were purposefully broken at that time. Moreover, signs of the cross are visible on the foreheads of these characters, possibly indicating their symbolic baptism in the early Christian period.
Importantly, the over-life size white marble portrait of Livia from Ephesus in the only extant example of the so-called Marbury Hall type with its body intact. This type is named for the statue of Livia purchased in Rome in the 18th century and formerly located at Marbury Hall. The head of the statue features an elongated face, a horizontal brow, comma-shaped curls along the forehead, and three waves of hair pulled back from the sides of the face.
The statues date to the late-Augustan or early-Tiberian principate.
