It's my opinion of course. Theres something in the smirk of the tusculum portrait that tells me Julius Caesar was no tyrant. Unlike Crassus, Julius Caesar refused to decimate his men after the defeat at the battle of Gergovia. His commentaries made him a folk hero to ordinary Romans.

Very interesting! So often it's Caesars foreign conquests and his death that is focused on. I had no idea about a lot of these events from his youth. Some might remember HBO's great show "Rome", but even that started when Caesar was middle-aged, and I couldn't quite get behind the actor who played him. That was my one issue with the show, which is why it's great to see a younger and more realistic portrait, hinting towards the charisma he must have actually had.

That is the face of a leader. But unlike the "leaders" we have today (every last one of them, I don't care what side you're on), who are more like the corrupt senators and middle-management of Rome, the leaders of the past weren't just people with a lot of money and small minds. They were often soldiers, actually educated in history, philosophy, understood poetry and art, and were - ideally - the best men alive in their time. We don't have leaders for over a hundred years now, we only have thousands of grubby little corrupt mini-tyrants.

Personally I've adopted the description of Caesar couched by Colleen McCullough in her 'Masters of Rome' series. She used the Ferrucci bust as a template and made him blond with pale blue eyes ringed with dark irises - giving him the piercing quality so often discussed. A fascinating portrait, both physically and psychologically. Still, your version could very well be the truest one. Good job.
