<p>[QUOTE="Coin Pedant, post: 3618744, member: 105415"]As a follow up, the forum claims that Pilate only gained his 'roman toga look' in the late 18th early 19th century due to conspiracy. However the post fails to mention that during this period, the neoclassical fashion had set in, with a deeper appreciation for classical civilisation and study of Greece and Rome being encouraged. Study of the Elgin Marbles all the way to Schliemann's archaeology at Troy reflects a 19th century push to understand these civilisations. The post fails to see how greater cultural events and attitudes towards civilisation/empire in the 1800s are responsible for a more accurate depiction of historical figures in later media.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
