This canvas print celebrates Augustus, the first Roman emperor and founder of the Roman Empire, one of the most important figures in Ancient Roman history and the architect of the Pax Romana. Inspired by classical Roman art, this artwork is perfect for admirers of Roman emperors, Ancient Rome wall art and Roman Empire decor.

The illustration is based on the famous Augustus of Prima Porta statue, one of the most recognizable symbols of Roman imperial power. The richly decorated breastplate depicts the recovery of the Roman legionary standards lost by Crassus during the Parthian campaign, a diplomatic achievement that became a powerful symbol of Rome's restored prestige.

The Roman eagles, sacred standards of the Roman legions, represented the military honor and authority of the Empire. Their return reinforced Augustus' image as a ruler capable of bringing stability, legitimacy and peace after decades of civil war that had weakened the Roman Republic.

The artwork also incorporates a text inspired by the Res Gestae Divi Augusti, the emperor's official autobiography, through which Augustus presented his political, military and institutional achievements. These words reveal the image of the Pater Patriae, the Father of the Fatherland, who ushered in a new era of prosperity, order and imperial unity across the Roman world.

Blending Ancient Roman history and classical art, this historical canvas artwork transforms one of the most iconic symbols of the Roman Empire into a striking piece of Roman history wall decor for collectors, history enthusiasts and lovers of Ancient Rome artwork.

Our project is a playful‑cultural experience designed for anyone who wants to live history in a new way:

from teenagers, who can approach the great events of the past in an engaging and enjoyable manner, to enthusiasts who wish to enrich their homes with artistic canvases capable of elegantly telling the stories and protagonists of our nation’s past.

The characters we portray are not simply figures from history: they are the roots of our identity, the voices that shaped our culture, our way of thinking, and even the places we inhabit.

Beyond visual impact, we want to restore the pleasure of touch: not only through the natural texture of cotton, but also through the tactile depth and glossy highlights achieved during printing — details that add dimension and a uniquely sensory feel.

In an age dominated by digital screens, our canvases invite you to rediscover an authentic, physical, and sensorial experience.

It is a product that blends quality and culture — but above all, it is an invitation to rediscover the pride of belonging to an extraordinary history.

Because being Italian means carrying with us a heritage that deserves to be celebrated.

Our products are entirely made in Italy, within the Over S.r.l. facility — a company active in the cardboard sector since 1978.

In 2025, a production department dedicated to digital printing for visual communication was introduced, allowing us to combine industrial expertise and aesthetic research within a single production space.

Every stage of the process takes place in‑house: from design to printing, from production to packaging, all the way to shipping. Everything is managed in our warehouse, giving us direct control over quality, materials, and timing.

IBAM is a registered trademark of Over Srl: a choice that ensures 100% Italian production, a short supply chain, and high quality standards.

For us, ‘Made in Italy’ is not a label — it is a concrete process, followed step by step.

We place great importance on the quality of our canvas prints, made from 100% cotton — plastic‑free and naturally eco‑friendly.

We use GREENGUARD Gold‑certified inks, which ensure vibrant colors and exceptional long‑term stability, enhancing every historical and iconographic detail.

Likewise, for our cat beds we use corrugated cardboard, a fully eco‑sustainable material thanks to its recyclable nature.

A choice that combines environmental respect, functionality, and care for our four‑legged friends.

The textured finish allows for extremely realistic reproductions, adding depth and three‑dimensionality to the image.

Thanks to the use of up to nine layers of matte and glossy UV varnish, it creates a raised effect that simulates real brushstrokes and enhances the most distinctive details of the illustration.

High‑definition flat illustrations, on the other hand, use a single layer of matte UV varnish: they have no relief, but ensure vibrant, stable colors that remain resistant over time and to sunlight.

Express shipping is always free on all our canvases.
Each piece is packaged with the utmost care to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.We offer several payment methods to suit your needs: PayPal, Credit Card, and Bank Transfer.
