<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8096671, member: 87200&quot;]In a way, some of the Egyptian mummy portraits from the Fayyum resemble a Jesus-like character - young men who are full-faced and wearing beards for the most part. If you want to see how the citizens of Roman Egypt appeared in the second and third centuries A.D. google &quot;Egyptian mummy portraits&quot; - the issue of the &quot;race&quot; of the ancient Egyptians is sort of a politicized discussion, but the Fayyum portraits found by the archaeologist Flinders Petrie illustrate the wide variety of depictions, some Greek like and some of more African origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407420[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
