    Look at that nose on Roma. Its so sharp I bet she could use it as a gladius.

    Ok, so these two gentlemen are Greek, but hey, Greece was part of the empire too, and those noses could definitely pass for Roman. You may have to drink an amphora's worth of lead-sweetened wine to see it, but you'll definitely notice it if the lead doesn't kill you first.

    I almost forgot this guy. With a nose like that, is it any wonder he could smell the money from taxing his citizens' bodily functions? If Vespasian's nose were any bigger it could have been classified as a deadly weapon. You could almost poke an eye out with that thing.
