  AUGUSTUS: IMAGES OF POWER
Part 3: The Statue of Augustus at Prima Porta (13-16)
The statue of Augustus from Livia's villa at Prima Porta is a marble copy of a bronze statue that celebrates the return in 20 BCE of the military standards captured by the Parthians in 53 after the defeat of Crassus at Carrhae.
The cameo refers to military victories won by Tiberius over the peoples of the Alpine and Danube areas (the Roman provinces of Rhaetia and Pannonia) but the triumphs belong to Augustus, on whom Roma gazes with admiration.

  Raetia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raetia (so always in inscriptions; classical manuscripts usually use the form Rhaetia) was a province of the Roman Empire, bounded on the west by the country of the Helvetii, on the east by Noricum, on the north by Vindelicia, and on the south by Cisalpine Gaul.
Under Diocletian it formed part of the diocese of the vicarius Italiae, and was subdivided into Raetia prima and Raetia secunda (each under a praeses), the former corresponding to the old Raetia, the latter to Vindelicia.
The boundary between them is not clearly defined, but may be stated generally as a line drawn eastwards from the lacus Brigantinus (Lake Constance) to the Oenus (River Inn).

Until the nineteenth century, Rhaetia was entirely separate from its western neighbour of Helvetia.
As Helvetia began to experience stirrings towards independence in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the population of Rhaetia also began to organize themselves, with the ideal of throwing off the feudal oppression of the bishops and lords who nominally ruled the area.
The three loose groupings came together in 1471 to pledge mutual assistance, and were soon able – with the spur of the Reformation – to seize political power from the nobles.
