Description
The Duke is portrayed here not as he really appeared, but with idealized features as Augustus, the Roman emperor from whom Cosimo I drew his inspiration. The shield bears an image of Capricorn, the zodiacal sign of Augusutus that Cosimo I had adopted. The statue was destined to occupy the space between the figures of Equity and Rigour, where since 1585 stands Giambologna's portrait statue of Cosimo I.
