dbo:abstract
  • La Apoteosis de Claudio es una escultura de tiempos del Imperio romano, modificada en el siglo XVII, que se conserva actualmente en el Museo del Prado de Madrid. Su parte original fue realizada entre los años 27 a. C. - 14 d. C., en época del mandato de César Augusto, IMPERATOR·CAESAR·DIVI·FILIVS·AVGVSTVS («Emperador César Augusto, hijo adoptivo del Divino (Julio César»). Augusto es considerado el primero y más importante de los emperadores romanos, aunque él mismo no se consideró como tal durante su reinado, prefiriendo usar el título republicano tradicional de princeps civium («el primero de los ciudadanos»).

  • The Apotheosis of Claudius is a sculptural group, now in the Prado Museum in Madrid with the catalogue number E00225. The upper part shows an eagle resting on a pile of weapons, originally a tropaion on a rectangular funerary pedestal on an urn – that pedestal and urn are now lost. The tropaion (and possibly the pedestal and urn) were found in the villa on the estate of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus (64 BC–8 AD), a Roman general, politician and patron of the arts. It was originally produced between 27 BC and 14 AD. The ancient part of the sculpture is inscribed IMPERATOR·CAESAR·DIVI·FILIVS·AVGVSTVS (the emperor Caesar Augustus, son of the deified [Julius Caesar]). The work is named after a now-lost head of Claudius commissioned from Orfeo Boselli (1600–1676) by cardinal Girolamo Colonna, now lost but shown in at least two engravings of the group. This bust was added when the sculpture was placed on a later larger pedestal in the classical style, just before Colonna gave the work to Philip IV of Spain in 1664. The original bust of Claudius was lost in a fire at the Alcázar de Madrid in 1734 and replaced with another smaller version. That later bust has now been removed. (en)
