<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Trebellianus, post: 4663586, member: 91569&quot;]Very impressive achievement. One is ultimately, I suppose, &quot;ploughing the ocean&quot; in trying to create realistic true-to-life portraits of people whose real, true-to-life appearance is more or less unknown to us. But the majority of these resonate with the mental image I have of the emperors from their statues, coins and my vague general conception of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d single out the Flavians, Elagabalus and Decius as particularly impressive. And the Probus is a great &quot;translation&quot; of an inartistic sculptural head.</p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest downside is the complete lack of curly hair -- I assume this must be a limitation of whatever program was used to produce these. Marcus Aurelius, Lucius Verus (a bad likeness, generally) and Septimius Severus suffer particularly as a result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
