And? The people instead of inferring what he likely looked like go the other way with the statue. It's not even being too literal to the statue(though that does happen often, as with the Alexander the Great), but just not knowing how to do their job. There are so many slight details in it that are just fucked up, lazy, or are plainly wrong and created by the individual with no thinking base.

I put this down to a lack of artistic sight or knowledge.

Calm down anon, I am merely speaking of it as how accurate it is. You shouldn't be so sensitive to consider this a "messiah complex", but it does not mean I am not thankful for an anon making it. I am merely saying the endeavour on a whole so often just completely fails at making a realistic face out of a sculpture.

To name one example would be the skull(and that changes how the face is positioned to it). But if some random anon has made it I don't dislike it, I'm just speaking honestly.

Romans look like modern day Mediterranean people, so: dark brown or black hair, green or brown eyes, white skin tanned by the sun and a lot of facial hair. This is what the Spanish, Italians, Greeks, West coast Turks, Lebanese and Syrians look like which corresponds to DNA tests which show genetic homogeneity across the Mediterranean dating back to at least the Bronze Age.

Of course Americans have a warped sense of colour coding and they'd never see Spanish or Italian people as white. Yet when you go there they look more white / caucasian than the average Mutt. The absolute American cope
