    Caracalla sure looks like a grumpy guy! Great portrait!

    I'm with JBGood - I really, really like that Caracalla. Just a great portrait that makes him look especially mean. Great Trajan too though.

    Alas, no mail delivery tomorrow, or I would. Tracking says I have several packages arrived at the post office.

    Stay tuned. :)
