Caesar Augustus
The Caesar Augustus statue stands in front of the Sharpe Refectory in Hughes Court. It was a gift to the university by Moses Brown Ives Goddard in 1906. It is an exact bronze copy of the Vatican Museum's classic Augustus of Prima Porta statue. The statue's arm broke off due to a hurricane that struck Providence in 1938. It was originally located in front of Rhode Island Hall on the main College Green, until it was moved to its current location in 1952.
The pedestal reads "The Gift of Moses Brown Ives Goddard to Brown University".
