The Roman Republic-Real Roman Faces

[@fee1776]

Names are just data, names with faces is history. Good presentation.

[@ronaldmessina4229]

How I do wish that I could have lived when the Romans lived, of course it is now impossible to partake of of the times when they lived 😢

[@Ann-j4y]

I think the thing that always strikes me is how much the faces look like us today. You could meet these people anywhere on any street in the world. Well, at least in Europe. I don’t know how you do this magic but it really makes things come alive. Great work!

If there is a cure for hair loss, but it is expensive, it is in spray bottles.

Baldness is to be worn with pride. Something modern generations won’t get as manliness is regarded as a negative trait and just like all declining civilisations in history, they prefer effeminacy; a fad that will wane after the next world war.

[@finch45lear]

The gorgeous realism of the Romans is simply amazing in contrast to Christian art of the Middle Ages. Giotto is often given credit for establishing realism and perspective in the 12th century but it all existed centuries before in Rome. So much knowledge was lost prior to the rebirth in the west.

[@serviustullus7204]

@@panagiotisconstantinou What Europeans and Americans forget in the Roman history is that Romans were a people, society, race, identity, and that the Roman is not an idea but was flesh, blood, and human fault. The Roman identity as it was is done and gone for all that once upon a time glory that was Rome. The Greek ethnos, the Gallic-Welsh language, the Greek, the Christian faith were suppress by the Roman rule, but these identities and languages have outlasted the Rome identity and power. So those pompous Romans can take that to their haughty, sometimes sacrilegious graves.

[@riikkaalanen3429]

Interesting. As a side note, all the portraits here show men with fairly high and wide cheekbones, strong noses and deep set eyes. Roman nobles were very “nose-conscious” - Pompey’s snub nose (not presented here) was reportedly attributed by his snobbish contemporaries to his Piceni heritage (Pompey’s family was from Picenum, in modern-day Marche). So not a proper Roman nose at all in their opinion.

The republic and the empire never set up a veterans administration for the army, the soldiers looked to their generals not the nation, that's what doomed Rome

[@dadevi]

​@jamesloring7186 Rome doomed itself by relying on German mercenaries. They literally rotted on their excess from the inside out. There was no veterans administration because most veterans didn't survive campaigning.

[@antoinemozart243]

The two highest magistrates were the Dictator and the Censor, not the Consuls. They were previous ( of consular rank) or current Consuls.

[@panagiotisconstantinou]

The dictator was an office appointed in a time of need to deal with an existential threat like Hannibal. The consuls were the two generals in charge of the army.
