Explanation:

The statue bears the image of the emperor with his arm raised, as if addressing or distributing orders, wearing a tunic, a general's cloak and a breastplate richly adorned with important elements of his life and empire. He still had the consular staff in one of the emperor's hands.

This intention to show the emperor's leadership is shown in his statue, whose characteristics serve the purpose of reinforcing an image of an ideal ruler, respecting traditions, capable of restoring peace and order, thus legitimizing his titles of power. to know: First Citizen, First Senator, Maximum Pontiff, Tribe of the Plebs, Father of the Fatherland and Chief of Armies.
