The Augustus of Prima Porta, believed to have been commissioned in 15
A.D. by Augustus’ adopted son Tiberius, is a majestic example of Imperial
Roman statuary. It is currently under restoration, generously financed by
the patrons of the Florida chapter.
It was discovered at Prima Porta nine miles outside of Rome in the villa
belonging to Augustus’ wife Livia. Although it may be a copy of a bronze
original, dated 20 B.C., Tiberius made a significant addition to his marble
copy: on the chest plate, he added scenes depicting the Roman victory over
the Parthians. These scenes were used by Tiberius as a form of propaganda
so that the viewer would recall the important role his father played in
securing the Roman empire.

The Reforms of Diocletian
Diocletian ( 284-305 A.D.)
The Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus (A.D. 284-305) put an end to the disastrous
phase of Roman history known as the "Military Anarchy" or the "Imperial Crisis" (235-284). He
established an obvious military despotism and was responsible for laying the groundwork for the
second phase of the Roman Empire, which is known variously as the "Dominate," the "Tetrarchy,"
the "Later Roman Empire," or the "Byzantine Empire." His reforms ensured the continuity of the
Roman Empire in the east for more than a thousand years.

Christians during the Roman Empire under Diocletian’s rule, during which Diocletian ordered a

spread the religion all over Rome making it a Christians Empire.
