You think being one of Rome’s greatest emperors that Augustus could have got a better interior decorator. Seriously, the place is rather modest and the artwork was not so impressive.
There used to be laws stopping legionaries coming to Rome in uniform, these did not apply to the Praetorian Guard though. Now it seems like any old solder can do it, don’t know what the empire is coming to!
Ancient art in the British Museum. I wish I had taken a photo of the label (I usually do) because I can't remember where this is from - other than it being very old.
