| Description |  |
The statues of Emperor August and Livia were found broken in a room on the eastern side of the Basilica located on the northern side of the Upper Agora, in Ephesus. This room was used as the Ceremonial Hall of the Basilica and then demolished during the Early Byzantine Era, at which many statues like these of Emperor August and his wife Livia were broken as well as being Christianized by carving a cross on their foreheads.
