3rd Century Roman Emperors | Realistic Face Reconstruction Using AI and Photoshop (Part 2)

[@1987MartinT]

I wonder how many of these guys were like: "Sure. The previous 30 emperors were killed, but I'm gonna be the one to break the streak!"

[@Mfields4517]

Just as many were forced to be emperor by situation. Some would be killed by their own troops if they refused, some would be killed off by their rivals to consolidate their own power.

Imagine what our boy Aurelian could have done had he survived for far more than 5 years.

[@chrisgrech7992]

had he survived? he was already old by Roman standards

[@Kunumbah1]

@@chrisgrech7992 He was old but he wasn’t knocking at deaths door when he was assassinated. Augustus died at 75, Vespasian died at 71, and Tiberius died at 77. These deaths likely weren’t due to simply old age neither. Augustus was sick his entire life, Vespasian died of bloody diarrhea likely contracted from some disease and Tiberius was likely assassinated by Caligula. Aurelian was 61 and still healthy and strong. Had he not been assassinated or unfortunately contracted some disease he likely could’ve lived another 10 years.

[@chrisgrech7992]

@@Kunumbah1 doesn't mean because some few others did, he might live longer and in that age the older he got, the more likely revolts would break out because they would know he was getting feeble. He lived in an age in which revolts happened to be the order of the day. Revolts kept occurring after him, it was a problem beyond his or anyone's reach.

[@atlasxproductions5381]

All of that is true. Aurelian isn’t known (as far as I know) to have contracted any disease, and being in the military likely since the beginning of the crisis (either circa Alexander Severus or the Year of the Six Emperors) would have given him a longer life because of fitness and simply being on his toes at all times. As for everything else you said, everything is right except for the Tiberius fact: Tiberius was dying of natural causes on his deathbed, Caligula simply sped up the process fueled by his hatred for Tiberius for practically massacring Caligula’s family.

[@celestenova777]

Quite incredible how many emperors were murdered by their own troops, such a tenuous position these leaders held and most must have been looking over their shoulders half the time! Love their names. Great vid and really brings them to life. Thanks.

[@DMS-pq8]

Part of the reason was that it was expected that a new Emperor would give a large amount of money to the troops so they had had a good incentive to get a new Emperor every few years or even months

[@dmitriyk.2890]

Ironically, the Praetorean guard tasked with bodu=yguarding the Emperrors often were the ones killing them. strong contrast to the Varangian guards of Byzantine Emperrors (they were very loyal and the last ones fighting during the siege of Constantinople).

That is EXACTLY how I imagine Diocletian would look like. Also, I could be wrong, but I always thought the bust you used for Claudius Gothicus is actually that of Aurelian. Anyway, can't wait to see the ones on the Constantinian, Valentinian and Theodosian dynasties.

[@delavalmilker]

Great to see such little-known but heroic emperors, like Gallienus and Aurelian. Gallienus, who struggled valiantly to restore some order to the shattered Empire. And Aurelian---who deservedly earned the title "Restitutor Orbis"---"Restorer of the World".

[@williamlacentra2808]

Of all these short lived emperors --only Aurelian lives in Rome to this day from the name of his wall around Rome itself----it still is used as a combination buffer --viaduct and entrance -gateway in and out of the city...!
