@@pg.ledesma You never heard of the barbarian invasions? Guess where the Lombardians of northern Italy came from? Hint: Not from Rome or southern Italy. And speaking of Spaniards, they are a mix of Hispano-Romans, Moors and Goths.

[@pg.ledesma]

@@capmidnite No. Barbarians only were a few between the roman population (they ended up being assimilated), and moors in Spain, well, only went the ellite of them there, only the nobility and a few landowners, and ended up being driven out. The most of population went on being celt-roman, as evidenced by the language and spanish costumes of today (heiresses of Rome). And the same occured in Italy, France and Portugal. But, are those barbarians different to germans or scandinavians of today? Answer is no, so my argument holds: people from antiquity were no diferent of us.

The sculptures make me imagine faces very different from what they are shown. Otavio's mouth, for example, is much more aligned with his nose in the sculpture than it is in the created image. It is the same with Messalina's mouth and nose. Nero has a prominent chin, but his jaw does not seem prominent as it is shown in the created image. He is also wide-eyed in the sculpture, very different from his eyes in the image. To me, the proportions of the faces (sculpture and image) are different.

As per the video Description, the images are not based solely on the statues, but incorporate descriptions from those times. If I hadn't read the Description I would have been cynical about the images. Agrippa's bust, as a prime example, is nothing like the image at all, as well as being much younger than the bust portrays. Disconcerting compilations.

I appreciate all the hard work that went into producing this. It is masterful. Bringing to life what sculptures, as incredible as they are, lacks what our technological artists can achieve today.

Ev ery student studying history, especially ancient history, should see this. It will help them realize that much-vaunted rulers are ordinary persons and not some demi-god on a pedestal. Great reconstructions. Thanks for sharing. You should contact classics departments for distribution.

[@jeffburnham6611]

So we're going to subject students to someone's idea of what these people looked like, and discount the various historical texts of people who were actually alive at the time? These were poor attempts at accurate reconstructions.

Julius Caesar looking like Wladimir Klitchko lol... good vid!:)

lol. I always thought ceasar looked like putin.

[@howtubeable]

Julius Caesar was a surprise. I've seen other recreations of Julius Caesar based on statues, and this looks so much more realistic. I can see this man ruling an empire. As for Brutus, that man is destined for a career in the entertainment industry. Molto bello!

[@monkeytennis8861]

Julius Caesar wasn't emperor

[@kaiceecrane3884]

I can see him running the 99, one day after Amy puts him there

[@Hibernicus1968]

This reconstruction of Caesar is done from a bust which is not thought to be the most accurate representation of him (the one held in the Museo Pio-Clementino ion the Vatican, and is known to be a posthumous portrait of him), and cerrtainly seems to have been partly idealized -- it shows him with a full head of hair, and he was known to be balding -- something his political enemies mercilessly taunted him about (one of the honors voted him by the senate was the right to wear a victorious leader's laurel wreath at all times, because it helped conceal his incipient baldness). I saw another reconstruction of Caesar's face, done by a Dutch museum, which is based on a different portrait bust that was made during Caesar's lifetime and is thought to be more accurate (the Tusculum portrait). That reconstruction looks off to me; the shape of the head is odd, and the eyes appear much too close together, but it does show his thinning hair more accurately.

Wow, Brutus looked like a movie star! But it looks like they got Octavian's hair wrong. It should have had more wave or curl, at least based on what his statuary bust indicates.

[@anciehistluv5094]

@Panagiotis Constantinou ... I personally think, out of this set, Brutus is the most attractive! I think you did a terrific job with both Caligula and Nero ~ sometimes one can just look at a person and tell that they're insane ... well, with your reconstruction of Caligula and Nero, just looking at them back in that time I would have suspected that they were nuts! You did Nero in another set, and he really looks crazy in that set!

I think they looked by and large like the quintessential Mediterranean Southern European types and it was rare to find Northern looks amongst them.

[@SaudadeCB]

Migration periods have affected south European phenotype so I wouldn't jump to same conclusion as you.

@@SaudadeCB When I see ancient Roman frescoes and paintings they look just like us modern Southern Europeans. Also they would describe the blondness of the northern types as a contrast to themselves often.

[@lorenafernandez4409]

The Romans were darker: dark hair and brown eyes, mostly. They had Mediterranean features. Mixing with the Germans caused the phenotype to change. The Romans in these images look like modern-day Europeans, inhabitants of northern Italy and even more Nordic countries. Ancient Roman features are captured in many paintings, so we know they were more like southern Italians; inhabitants of Sicily, Calabria, etc.
