Two damaged and partially restored Roman portraits in the collection of the British Museum, previously identified as either the emperor Caligula or an unknown “Julio-Claudian prince,” are here reassessed and identified as Agrippa Postumus, the youngest grandson and adopted heir of Augustus. The first portrait, from southern Britain, may have come from a temple dedicated to the worship of the Julio-Claudian house, while the second was probably part of an equestrian group standing outside the Aedes Castoris in Rome. This is a significant reinterpretation, providing potential evidence not only for links between Rome's first family and the rulers of a distant client kingdom, but also for the framing of imperial power and the uncertain nature of the Augustan succession in the early years of the 1st c. CE.

大英博物馆收藏的两幅受损和部分修复的罗马肖像，之前被确定为卡利古拉皇帝或不知名的“胡里奥 - 克劳迪安王子”，在这里被重新评估并确定为阿格里帕波斯图姆斯，他是奥古斯都最小的孙子和收养的继承人。第一张肖像来自英国南部，可能来自一座供奉胡里奥-克劳迪安家族的寺庙，而第二张可能是站在罗马伊蚊卡斯托利斯外的一个骑马团体的一部分。这是一次重要的重新解释，不仅为罗马第一家族与远方附庸国统治者之间的联系提供了潜在证据，也为罗马帝国权力的框架以及公元 1 世纪初期奥古斯都王位继承的不确定性提供了潜在证据。 . 行政长官。
