Roman Emperor Vespasian Imago Image gold standard sign signa signifer cold cast

Description

This Roman Emperor Vespasian Imago or Image is done in cold cast but I used a gold atomized powder along with a gold foil background to make this particular imago standard around 26 years ago.  It was the first of these types that I did with great success.  My first one was done in 1980 and is rather sad.  This one however was influenced by the round disk Imago standards of both Claudius, Caligula and a semi round one of nero that were found with the one of Claudius showing just the facing head like mine.  The Emperor and Imperial family are seen on many Roman standards like this one being carried by the Praetorian Guard as well on Trajan's column etc.  A praetorian grave stelae outside of Rome along the Appian way was however my biggest influence.  As mentioned above, this imago standard was made by me some 26 years ago but on top of that it was also the first one that I ever made of this type of round disk Imago Roman standard.  You can mount it to your own standard or use it to decorate your Roman man cave.  It is six inches across with the raised relief work being 3 1/2 inches high.
