[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2749361, member: 10461"]Wow. What a striking pose and great portrait. He almost looks like a French musketeer or Puritan Roundhead from 16 or 17 centuries later! [ATTACH=full]629350[/ATTACH] I guess it's the hair, beard, and costume. Has a real 17th century AD look more than a 1st century BC look, to my eye. Perhaps it's because I'm used to ancient coin portraits of the first century BC looking more Roman (i.e., mostly beardless during that era, and usually shown in profile).[/QUOTE]
