Rome-Naples June 2026

Roma – Ara Pacis – Parco Villa Borghese

Busts of major figures and emperors at the Ara Pacis Museum. The first is of Julius Caesar, the uncle of Augustus, who became the first emperor, and to whom the mausoleum alongside the museum is dedicated.
The emperors broke with the earlier tradition of life-like sculptures, and moved to idealised “photoshopped” versions of themselves.
