BUST OF CEASAR, VATICAN MUSEUM Commonly the senate and emperors would erect statues and commemorative reliefs in public squares. The sponsorship was almost always openly displayed on an accompanying inscription. Honorific statues were normally voted by the Senate, and obvious self-promotion was not started until the early 1st Century BC when Sulla, and then Pompey , used propaganda techniques for their public image. Julius Caesar was a master of this, and the practice was continued under most of the emperors. [MH] {NR}
