Quote:True, but there are other statues where the cuirass bends even more markedly!Yup, I've pointed them out in other topics. It all depends on whether you view these pieces as a documentary photograph or a stylised representation for propaganda purposes. With high quality propaganda pieces (which the Prima Porta Augustus and other high status portraits are to a degree at least) I get just as suspicious as I am of modern propaganda.
