Augustus of Prima Porta (Italian: Augusto di Prima Porta) is a full-length portrait statue of Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. The marble statue stands 2.08 meters tall and weighs 1,000 kg. The statue was discovered on April 20, 1863 during archaeological excavations at the Villa of Livia owned by Augustus’ third and final wife, Livia Drusilla in Prima Porta. Livia had retired to the villa after Augustus's death in AD 14. Carved by expert Greek sculptors, the statue is assumed to be a copy of a lost bronze original displayed in Rome. The Augustus of Prima Porta is now displayed in the Braccio Nuovo (New Arm) of the Vatican Museums. Since its discovery, it has become the best-known of Augustus' portraits and one of the most famous sculptures of the ancient world.

I've been (crudely) modeling things of interest for a few years. I don't consider my skills in photogrammetry and clean-up very good, but I'm learning as I go along. When I think a model is good enough to be printed, I like sharing it for free. My opinion is that all the world's patrimony should be freely and easily accessible to anyone anywhere.
