As a Latin teacher this takes my breath away. For over 30 years I have studied and taught this amazing language and to see its very speakers and figures of the history I so love brought to life is indescribably wondrous! Thank you for this and to the artists who painstakingly create these! It's seeing photos and videos from 2000 years ago--just incredible! ❤

[@Pudentame]

I've enjoyed this a lot more than I enjoyed taking Latin in high school. But there are flaws. Too often the hair is not right, it's just 20th/21st century styles perched on top of the faces. The faces are too smooth, unmarked by life. I can't see real, living people inside those faces (not like I can in the contemporary sculptures). Some of the faces don't seem age appropriate. The eyes mostly appear to be just STOCK. There are details about the eyes that haven't been transferred from sculptures the images draw from. I've read that "the eyes are the windows of the soul" - but not here. You can't see the incipient madness in Caligula's eyes, nor Nero's dissipated Frat Boy ... Some of these guys were "rode hard & put up wet", but you don't see it in these facial reconstructions. I will credit that the artist hasn't made the mistake most of the other face reconstructions I've seen make. The head moves as a piece. It's NOT just a face wiggling around inside a frame of hair & ears. If I were grading this as a school exercise, I'd give it a solid "B - room for improvement" (a grade I'm quite familiar with from my own school years).

[@Hare_deLune]

@@nolalove9723 Many things in those times were better than today. However, they were select things, such as craftsmanship and the nutritional value of foods. Having said that, there is no doubt that even the poor today live better than the Kings and Emperors of old, as far as modern amenities. The ancients made up for this in large part by having their own personal workforce of servants and slaves. We live better in so many ways, yet take it totally for granted, not even knowing how well off we actually are.

[@Hare_deLune]

@@nolalove9723 Indeed, people are much the same everywhere in the World, and everywhere in time. The other major differences between groups of people throughout time and place are attitudes and ideas. Of those two, ideas are the more important, and the more changeable. There are reasons why dictators fight a war of ideas as soon as they come to power. There were also reasons why Rome's adversaries would choose to kill themselves and their families when defeated in battle, rather than become slaves in ancient Rome.

[@lala_sparkles8035]

This so interesting. I never studied this and am enjoying reading the info. to figure out who took out who, lots of murdering going on. The only question I have is about the three older men (Gordon I, Pupienus, and Balbinus). They were age 79, 70, and 60. So, why aren't they shown at that age? Surely, they had grey hair at that point? Or were the statues, and therefore re-creations, in that time period all created as if they were young?

[@Sedona8101]

I was wondering the same thing

[@cadenrolland5250]

I think they younger man face was all they got for whatever reason. They couldn't find a model like those guys.

[@1987MartinT]

I think the busts aren't necessarily from the time they were emperors. It could be that they are from earlier in their respective lives.

[@varana]

The busts do represent them at the time when they were emperors, so they do depict them in their old(ish) age. It's the reconstruction that makes them look younger. If you take Gordian's picture, add the deeper wrinkles that are actually there in the original portrait, and give him white hair, you would actually get the image of an old man. Still good-looking for someone of his age, but definitely old. Similarly with Pupienus - white or at least grey hair would go a long way into making his depiction more age-appropriate. Beauty was not high on the list of priorities for statues of the soldier-emperors. They needed other virtues to be emphasised - strength, severity, determination, a soldier's life, that sort of thing.

There are a few errors. In the earlier young emperors, many are shown with a modern day light beard where there busts show none. Most Romans didn't grow beards, and if they did it was later in life. Secondly, older emperors, based on text provided, died in their 50's, 60's, and 70's. The busts show this, yet the recreation shows a man in his 40's-ish.

Gawd, you wouldn't want to be inline to be Emperor since most of them were murdered!! You wouldn't be able to sleep!!

What an amazing and fascinating job you did

Beautiful. Thank you so much for your creativity and talent. Just a statement: I think the finished faces would look better in their original clothes for that time period. Then you feel like you're looking at someone from antiquity. When you dress them in modern clothes, they look like anyone from Home Depot, and you have to imagine them in clothes from that time.

I think these are epic. Please do Vetranio. He's from 300 - 400 AD. I'm descended from him.

Graças à alta tecnologia e ao trabalho minucioso desses verdadeiros artistas, nós podemos hoje em dia, ter a sensação de contemplar a face desses Imperadores de Roma, como que em uma viagem no tempo, através de milênios de anos atrás. Muito obrigada! 👏👏👏
