On September 23, 2008, Gaius Octavian Augustus would have celebrated his 2,071st birthday. In homage to Augustus, students from Professor Berenfeld’s class (ARCH 1100: Archaeology in the Age of Augustus) decorated the bronze statue of his likeness on the Wriston Quad. Once festively attired, the class feasted on cake as they sat at his feet- an appropriate celebration for the first Emperor of Rome.
