Name the statue above. >> Augustus Caesar
 
The "staff" like the one he is holding | symbolizes - his leadership in Roman culture.

The "child holding onto his skirt"  symbolizes - his responsibilities holding him down as he rules.

The "hand raised" symbolizes  - his pride and his honor.

This Augustus in Prima Porta is on display at the Vatican Museum, Rome. It is one of the many statues that were erected throughout the empire during his reign. Every detail from head to toe symbolizes everything about his character and achievement.


First, at Augustus’ right leg is cupid figure riding a dolphin. The dolphin became a symbol of Augustus’ great naval victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, a conquest that made Augustus the sole ruler of the Empire.  The cupid astride the dolphin sends another message too: that Augustus is descended from the gods.  Cupid is the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Julius Caesar, the adoptive father of Augustus, claimed to be descended from Venus and therefore Augustus also shared this connection to the gods.

Second, the "hand raised" symbolizes  - his pride and his honor.

Finally, Augustus is wearing a cuirass, or breastplate, that is covered with figures that communicate additional propagandistic messages.  Scholars debate over the identification over each of these figures, but the basic meaning is clear: Augustus has the gods on his side, he is an international military victor, and he is the bringer of the Pax Romana, a peace that encompasses all the lands of the Roman Empire.

How race is socially constructed
Tom [10]

Answer:

Race is not biological. It is a social construct. There is no gene or cluster of genes common to all blacks or all whites. Were race “real” in the genetic sense, racial classifications for individuals would remain constant across boundaries.
