Roman Emperors - Real Faces - Part 3

[@dikshachettri5026]

Wow, it’s scary how realistic they all are.

[@henry_illenberger]

Love the Dawn of War games theme song. Also, Domitian is freaking handsome.

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

His eyes seem to have a very suspicious look to them though (and shrewd, as all of the Flavian emperors were rumored to be). Very fitting for someone who spent most of his reign expecting assassination attempts. Having experienced what went down during the Year of the Four Emperors makes that understandable, but his treatment of the Senate didn't help matters, which is part of the reason he was the only Flavian emperor to be assassinated.

[@soso4169]

@@Satellite_Of_Love He was also probably responsible for the murder of his predecessor and brother, Titus (a very good ruler and general, who sadly had so little time on the throne), that he had every right to be afraid of his own shadow (not that it helped him in the end..)

[@Puzzoozoo]

Vespasian looks like he's seen a lot of bad shit in his life, and it reflects in his eyes.

Really good work🙂

Thanks a lot 😊

[@calvinjackson8110]

I would like to see your work for the first five emperors of Rome. I am especially interested in Octavaian and Tiberius.

[@tekannon7803]

The Roman Empire has become alive in spirit once more as these Emperors make us realize how the human family has continued on in their footsteps.

[@daviddickey9832]

Romans were so close to inventing the steam engine, can you imagine how life would have been different if they had?

[@Fordo007]

They could have had the industrial revolution then instead of the 1800s. Reason steam and industry never took off is there was no need to invest into it with slave labor. Steam devices were toys and novelties, no one thought about making more efficient labor or industry as it was so easy and simple to just get more slaves. But it's nice to imagine a history were Rome saw the value of it... imagine being able to transport Legions across the Empire by railroad or steam-ships. The great problem of the empire's size and the inability to get forces to areas fast enough could've been solved. I'd imagine there'd be social issues with all the former slaves out of work, luddite uprisings, etc... probably would be another massive societal issue a talented Emperor would have to work through.

[@pompeiusmagnus2276]

@@Fordo007 "no need to invest into it with slave labor" -- also relatively inelastic demand because of high infant mortality leading to low population growth (or none at all). Greatly increased demand from high population growth would have motivated Roman elites to explore technological and agricultural innovation to meet increased demand, especially in food production. The Romans didn't even develop terraced farming methods/technology which would have helped a lot in Italy. "The former slaves out of work" could have been drafted into the army if their labor was not longer needed in the private sector. But good reply overall.

[@genghiskhan3504]

Otho wore a wig, that was a well known fact. You gave him natural hair. You were also too generous with Vespasian's hair.

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

The Flavians did tend towards thinning hair. I believe Domitian actually wrote a manual on hair care because of his sensitivity towards his hair-thinning.

Domitian was the best emperor of the Flavian dinasty for me

[@bugio2012]

Perfect , great jobs.

[@SpaceCadet2569]

Vespasian was from his own words , not a very good looking man. He was a good emperor. His son Titus was ok but his last son Domitian was a nasty tyrant. Jealous of his father’s admiration of his older brother.

[@asmundukkelberg8741]

I disagree! Domitian was the most underrated of all the roman emperors. His excellent administration was the basis for the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian.

[@miguel_philippus2526]

Domitian was a good emperor. But cruel.

[@TessVonWolf_]

Fantastic!!❤️❤️❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️

[@georgebaccett9951]

The pure Romans (royal houses) were white, blond, and light-eyed, but as the empire expanded they began to mix. but originally the romans are white

[@BruceKent00]

Of course they are white you fool, Italians are white.

Galba looks like a supervillain in a movie and Otho looks like his doofus sidekick

[@rj6017]

who decides what color eyes they should have in these videos? Are there records of their eye color?

The Ancient Roman people were tanned Mediterranean type big time just like the Ancient Greeks, but after the falling of Rome the Anglosaxon people came to the south of Europe!

Great job. A quick correction that there's no 'reign', as there was no concept of 'king' (it's a germanic word), but 'imperium', so it should be said it was a domain or imperium.

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Yes, however it's the 21st century and it's a English speaking channel.

[@pompeiusmagnus2276]

"Imperium" would have been the correct Latin term, also "saeculum," the term which the Roman Emperor Trajan used to denote his own reign as emperor.

agreed lol. Look at that disgusting freaks life for all the evidence you know. And when they chopped his head off and dragged him by the hook before throwing him into the Tiber like he deserved for being so awful an Emperor.

[@tiberiuscave4617]

Unfortunately, only a few (maybe one or two) surely identified Galba and Vitellius portraits survive, the others are mostly misidentified/badly restored busts or statues. That being so, the images you chose for Galba and Vitellius don't like represent either of them, but that's not your fault oc.

[@chucknorris202]

You havent read ANY of the classical material have you? Cause if you HAD read the classical source material, written while these Roman Emperors WERE STILL LIVING or from when living memory of them was still quite vivid, and painted statues of all good Emperors were quite widespread all throughout the Roman dominated world, EVERYONE knew what they looked like. And ALL the ancient authors inform us of the physical descriptions of these Greatest of men. Did you know? Augustus Caesar(And Julius Caesar before he became old and gray) and the family of the legitimate Caesars were almost ALL Blond haired. Augustus is noted for his blond hair(and handsomeness of face and limb) and blue/grey piercing eyes. The ancients paid a great deal of attention to these sorts of things, which you'd know if you read any of the ancient authors source material. Most of the Emperors came from Western Europe(or just Europe in general; it was rare for one to come from outside of Europe), or when from elsewhere in the Empire, from Roman colonies in those lands, with Roman parents and grandparents for generations, making them the same race as the Romans at Rome. Some of the provincial emperors were mixed to various degrees but none of them were black or "tanned" - save for Severus, who was North African(yet was ashamed of being called African actually, and made every effort even while Emperor for as long as he was - while an elderly man for that matter - to be thought of us natively Roman and WHOLLY Roman without anything North African about him aside from his darker than usual skin - Severus was descended from Romans who had married North African women, but those traits dwindled away in his descendants, because he married and had children by noble Roman women, particularly his Augusta). So when you take into account ALL of the historical references/sources, the stuff we actually use to find out the truth of these matters, combined with the various statues and busts of these Emperors that have survived to the present day, we know for a certainty that what Im saying is true; its no guess. Feel free to read ANY of the most respected Classical Roman or Greek Authors to verify......and just remember that Italians of today, or what you think of as "italians"(which is wrong no doubt, cause theres PLENTY of Italians in italy itself - and in Spain and other places where the Roman empire was strongest like in Gaul/France as well, even Britain to a noticable extent) were not the same as the Romans - and moreover, even TODAY you can and DO find Blond haired people with blue/grey/green/so on eyes in these countries. Plenty of them actually, its not a rare thing you know. And this was common among the Roman nobility especially. Just remember that they brought in tons of former barbarians and slaves into Rome over the years, some stayed others didnt but the ones who lived had children and up to the present day you can see their descendants. But lets never pretend thats all Italians. Evidences proves otherwise, historical evidence most of all for the subject at hand.

The only way to get the real face is from skeletal remains. Statues are just artistic representations that might be scuplted hundreds of years after the person died. The statues differ wildly from each other and so do their digital recreations. It's brilliant technology but the real faces? Probably not in most cases, unfortunately.
