<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2784111, member: 76086"]Well, the problem of attributing the face of Herakles to Alexander is that we have nearly no known contemporary portraits of Alexander. Although, a small portrait of him was found in the tomb of his father some years back. If you compare the two, well, I think they are certainly close. Its an interesting question though, as the posthumus issues certainly show a large variety of portraits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
