About this work

The series of twelve marble busts from which these four figures were cast represented the first twelve emperors of Rome. Although the Dutch word ‘keizer’ derives from Caesar’s name, he was never an emperor. His adoptive son Augustus was the first Roman emperor. Yet because Caesar had assumed absolute power, he is generally included in the series.
