Name this Emperor
#1
Salve all!

Can anyone clarify who the below depicted bust of emperor is? Caeser Augustus perhaps?

Many thanks!

Vale!

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

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...

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
