Explanation:

The statue of August at Prima Porta is one of the best-known depictions of the great Roman emperor. It is full of symbolism and details that depict the rulership and victory of Augustus, as well as the support of his rulership by various gods.

He is depicted holding the staff in his right hand. In Roman and Greek culture and art, staff and scepter were symbols to depict the leadership and authority of the person. They have usually ornamented sticks which leaders would hold in their hands during various ceremonies. It was a way to convey the idea that they are the messengers of the gods meant to lead people on earth.
