[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7750425, member: 110350"]Thank you, and to all of you. I don't know if it's exactly over with -- it's something chronic that I've had to deal with since I was 22 -- but hopefully this episode is in the past now. I felt quite ill for a couple of weeks. Alexandrian portraits of emperors aren't exactly well-known in general for their fidelity to Imperial models or for being easily recognizable, but I've seen quite a few Trajan portraits from Alexandria that look especially unlike what one might expect. With Hadrian, at least there's the beard to set him apart from his predecessors! I agree that one can see the elephants' faces quite well, and that they don't look happy![/QUOTE]
