Kushite raids The head had clearly been hacked off a large statue made in honour of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The Greek historian Strabo mentions in his chronicles that numerous towns in Lower Egypt were adorned with statues of Augustus before an invading Kushite army looted many of them in 24 BC, when Roman forces were away fighting in the Arabian campaign. Romans used statues to remind the empire's largely illiterate population of the emperor's power. Although the Roman military under Petronius successfully invaded Kushite territory and reclaimed many statues, they were unable to reach the Kushite capital. The sculpture was buried beneath a monumental stairway that led to an altar of victory. The placement of the Emperor's head below the shrine's steps was intended to symbolically denigrate Augustus's reputation in the eyes of Meroitic aristocracy & Qore kandake Amanirenas.
