The Emperors
Rome went from a Republic, to a sprawling Empire in the last century BC. Over the next give centuries it was ruled by many different men, sometimes their rule was absolute, sometimes they were beset by usurpers. Sculptural objects depicting the emperors, from noble busts to glorious equestrian statues were commisioned accross the empire to pay homage to the rulers of the greatest state the world has ever known, encompassing one quarter of the worlds population living in the longest continuous peace humanity has ever known.
