Name this Emperor - Titus Publius Saturninus - 07-15-2007
Salve all!
Can anyone clarify who the below depicted bust of emperor is? Caeser Augustus perhaps?
Many thanks!
Vale!

Possibly, are there no bigger/higher res photos?

Could be Trajan with that tell-tale haircut.
(Difficult to tell at such low resolution, though.)

Or Augustus?

I would say Trajan...

looks indeed like Trajan but the pic is to small to be certain.

Avete,
looks for me like one of these typical modern souvenir reproduction. I like it also when I don't know whether they are made exactly after originals like this one (seems to be the same - so it may be Augustus):

Given the miniscule size I'd still have to vote for Augustus. Proportionately
the "schnoz" doesn't look long enough to be Trajan. Couldn't you re-size the pic and post it again? The musculata does look like the one I saw on Trajan though.

I'd say this is the little-known midget-emperor who goes by the name of Minimus...
