Explain how the Ara Pacis Augustae and Augustus of Primaporta can be seen as works of propaganda
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Both works have agendas—Ara Pacis to celebrate family (one of Augustus’ reforms was to encourage citizens to wed and to produce children) and Primaporta to elevate Augustus (the inclusion of Cupid illustrates the claim that the Julian family had divine ancestors).
2. Both works present idealized versions of Augustus (Ara Pacis shows a family man loved by all, and Primaporta shows a young, vigorous leader who is both a philosopher and a warrior).
