By looking at statues i used to think roman emperors were alien or different species but after looking at this pics one realizes they were also humans like us
Julius Caesar was very sensitive about his own baldness. It's one of the reasons he often wore a laurel wreath, vanity as well as victory (not to mention that it really pissed off the more conservative members of the Senate, and he enjoyed doing that lol). Domitian was rumored to have written a manual on hair care as well, as he supposedly had thinning hair. Wigs were pretty popular in Ancient Rome, I wonder if some busts are depicting a wig rather than their own hair. It's very likely that Commodus' hair is his own, but you never know.
Geta could have told you that about Caracalla, if he hadn't been killed in front of his mother on Caracalla's orders. Just one of the reasons why the rule of the Severens is sometimes referred to as the "Troubled Severen Dynasty".
Thumps up and compliment for getting the pigmentation of Romans right, not too pale and not too dark. Countless ignorant folks think, that the ancient Romans and Greeks had the skin complexion of Indians. They also think that olive skin tone means super tanned, nearly dark brown skin. Anyway, your channel is underrated and deserves more views. Plus, you're way better than Voshart who for PC reasons changed his original photo-real portraits of the Roman emperors, by making several Roman emperors as dark as sub- Saharan Africans.
i think this video this video should have get those skins a bit darker in some cases in here some emperators looks like nowadays germans, and thats probably not true
I must admit I am simply blown away by your creations. The MUSIC however for me is the “‘cherry on the cake”, as they use to say. Where, oh where do you find these wonderful scores. I can literally see each one of these creations in battle or just ruling the masses if that is the case. Are these from film scores? Enquiring minds would like to know. There is something very muscular with the music when you place it behind these images.
Maybe you took Caracalla’s photograph as he looks like a North African. There is a monument in Tebessa, ancient times called Theveste, named after this emperor...
Septimius Severus, if I remember correctly, was born in a Roman province in Africa (modern day Libya). His own father was of Carthaginian origin (modern day Tunis).
This is incredible, but what's more shocking is just how lifelike the actual marble busts are. Just how much did the Romans know that we've lost forever?
Please can you do the real faces of other Emperors like Augustus,Tiberius,Caligula,Claudius,Nero,Titus,Domitian,Hadrian and Trajan,i would really love to see it
@@EarlRegent No,just more handsome men than Asians,maybe:25% of whites can be called handsome men,but only 8% of Asian can be call handsome men.......I have a mix face of western and eastern ,I know what is handsome .
@@自由吗 See I was right, you think your own race is not handsome and you think white people are. That's kind of sickening to be honest. Its also stereotypical of Asians. You are proving the stereotype right, you worship white
You do tend to make them more attractive than they really were. Roman sculpture is known for it accuracy in portraying faces despite some bias of rivals and the sculptors who were employed who preferred to stay alive and did as they were told when producing their works. Consider that when you "pretty them up."
Habe diese Namen noch nie gehört, außer Marcus Aurelius, Constantin und Arcadius. Ich bin immer begeistert, was für schönes, dichtes und lockiges Haar manche hatten. Heute gibt es fast nur noch Glatzen.
I think maybe because the programs used to create the faces contain only more generic hairstyles and not these ancient and elaborate ones seen on the statues?
He's not the one actually recreating the faces. It's an AI algorithm, similar to a Deepfake. Hair is one area that's always a bit tricky to get right. AI's can only replicate images based on the data you feed them.
Awesome job.... the images are exactly like the statues; especially Commodus, Lucius Verus and Caracalla... glad to see emperors from the Byzantine Empire BTW someone on TH-cam whose name is MAHLOU DC is showing your videos; I don’t know if she has permission to do so
Commodus - drowned in the bath by a wrestler - age 31 after being sole emperor for 12 years. Elagabalus- murdered along with his mother by the Praetorian guard (bodies tossed in the Tibur) - age 18 after being emperor for four years. Hostilian - either died of the plague or murdered (sources are split) - age unknown (20s) after being emperor for 6 months. Marcus Aurelius - unknown illness - age 58 after being emperor for 19 years Lusius Verus - co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius for 8 years - died of food poisoning or smallpox - age 39 Balbinus - assassinated by the Praetorian guard - aged approximately 40 after being emperor for 4 months. Maximmus Thrax - killed by mutinous soldiers - age 65 after being emperor for 3 years. Constantius Clorus - unknown disease - age 56 after being emperor for 1 year. Caracalla - stabbed while taking a piss - age 29 after being emperor for 6 years. Arcadius - considered something of a simpleton - cause of death unknown - Eastern emperor for 13 years died age 31. Constantine the Great - died after an illness of several months - age 65 having been emperor for 31 years.
This is really great, very insightful. Could you also do this for Chinese philosophers/generals based on portraits/statues? For example Confucius, Mencius, Laozi (as far as possible in this case), Zhuangzi, Sun Tzu, etc. Thanks!
I've always imagined Constantine the Great in real life to look intimidating and scary, so I did not expect something like that at all; he looks like he is half Asian. Good job on all of them!
He was from modern day Serbia. Also these renditions or even the statues on which they're based are not necessarily 100 % accurate depictions of the real person. I'm not aware of the exact methodology used for these reconstructions but I've seen several attempts each arrive at different results
@Gary Allen did I ever mention any slavs? And how are Dacians relevant here? Nis/Naisus is way south, Dacians used to live north of the Danube. As for fair features,etc I did not mention anything but in any case it's not necessarily an IE trait, blue eyes for example are said to have been very common with prehistoric hunter-gatherers

I think your recreation deviates too much from the statue version you should stick closer to facial bust....you'd be surprised how accurate the Roman sculptures were to the real image
Thank you for breathing life into marble. I used to be very good at using Maya for work in 3D modelling. Well Done on mapping , lighting and animation.
Some pretty interesting fleshouts. Heliogabalus looks like David Byrne. His ears are way asymmetrical though. I'll bet if David Byrne was a Roman emperor he'd behave just like him. Balbinus looks kinda like Bruce Willis, and Maximus Thrax looks like Woody Harrelson.
I will bet there isn't a bust of Augustus in his old age! Suetonius made a few references of his elderly appearance as having small decaying teeth - or few teeth, a weak jaw, going blind in one eye and a yellowish hair that was unkempt.
I can see Maximinius Thrax being a military emperor he looks like someone that’s in a complete military uniform. Caracalla looks Middle Eastern af, and Constantine looks like a frat boy turned investment banker
Balbinus ruled during troubled times, the so-called Crisis of the Third Century when emperors were often the subject of assassinations by ambitious rivals due to the loss of respect and legitimacy for the office since the time of Commodus, who did much to heap scorn for emperors. Commodus, Geta, Caracalla, Macrinus, Heliogabalus, Alexander Severus, Maximus Thrax all dying by assassination.
1:26 The eyes were changed a lot in the drawing of Marcus Aurelius. The large eyelids were removed. A lot of Italians have large eye lids just like the statue. For example, the pro basketball player Marco Bellinelli. I think Marcus Aurelius probably looked similar to him in real life.
This is an illustrative test to our imagination and sensibilities. Can we bring history back alive but through CGI and Hollywood spectacle. We should and we could. That is our humble duty when a marble statue watches back at us without a blink.

I have read many comments on the concept of beauty, it must be said that this concept is based, and varies according to the culture of each people. As for us Italians, assuming that the Latin DNA is preponderant, we are, and have always been, the result of a remarkable cocktail of ethnic groups (I hate the term races). Pre Indo-Europeans - Indo-Europeans- Semites * - Celts - Germans and peoples from Scandinavia * * Normans - Spaniards - French-Germans - Slavs - .... only aliens are missing ^^ (which by the way, ^^ the word alien is from the Latin alienus = foreigner. * DNA of Semitic peoples began to mix with the Roman-Latin one with the Punic wars when between 250,000 and 500,000 Carthaginian slaves arrived in Italy, another wave was with the Arab occupation of Sicily, and the much shorter one of the Bari area. ** The Goths and the Lombards, both peoples who came from the Gotland area; the Lombards carried out a very long, centuries-old migration, during which they mixed with other populations, including: Marcomanni, Cherusci, Ossi Swabians, etc. Each subsequent invasion drove the previous peoples towards the mountains, depriving them of the fertile lands of the plains. This is how where I live, at the foot of the central Apennines in Tuscany, in the mountains in small towns like Poppi, Pratovecchio, Stia, Soci (formerly Etruscan-Roman cities) there are a lot of redheads ^ ________ ^, copper-colored hair skin white freckles and green eyes! mmmm, I skipped high school and visited them on my motorbike (giggles).
@Ilyass ELK it is true, there were not a high percentage of those who lived in Italy or in Rome, but strangely there were a certain number of emperors and cultural men of North African origin: Terentius, Marziano Capella, Frontone, Apuleio, Tertullianus, the emperors Septimius Severus, Macrino and Emiliano; the first of Punic-African origins, the other two from the Mauri people.
@@ΗλίαςΠαπαδάτος-χ3ξ ^^ I have not forgotten them I include them in the Mediterranean Indo-European populations, however you are right I had to mention them, especially since they arrived in the peninsula very early already at the time of the Achaeans, before the Dorians and the Greek "Middle Ages", in the image various Achaean's colonies in southern Italy www.tarentumfestival.com/tarentum/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/COLONIE01.jpg
@King of kings no, I have not forgotten, but, genetically speaking, more than the ancient Carthaginian settlements in Sicily and Sardinia, the number of slaves of Carthaginian origin (we are talking about a variable number between 250,000 and 500,000) who entered Italy was more important because of the three Punic wars
While the faces are interesting, some of those names sound like household items, parts or adjectives: Commodus C... Chlorux Maximus Thrax (scurring powder?) Arcadius Hostilian's face is less hostile than expected. Lucius Verus ( luscious) Heliobagalus Balbinus...
The Ancient Roman people were tanned Mediterranean type just like Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, George Clooney, Rafael Nadal, Eva Longoria, kim Kardashian, J Stalin, Catherine Z jones, Salma hayek etc

Probably because hair on Roman and Greek statues tendes to be highly stylized to evoke Alexander’s curly, flowing hair.

@King of kings no, I have not forgotten, but, genetically speaking, more than the ancient Carthaginian settlements in Sicily and Sardinia, the number of slaves of Carthaginian origin (we are talking about a variable number between 250,000 and 500,000) who entered Italy was more important because of the three Punic wars
While the faces are interesting, some of those names sound like household items, parts or adjectives:
Commodus
C... Chlorux
Maximus Thrax (scurring powder?)
Arcadius
Hostilian's face is less hostile than expected.
Lucius Verus ( luscious)
Heliobagalus
Balbinus...
Awesome!❤️
Great job! 👏👏👏
Very very good! Thank you
Marcus looks smart and kind, and commodus evil and unsettling. Hard to believe it's his son.
By some accounts - NOT!
Probably a bit flattering on some of them but cool to watch
Very good Congratulations. Brazil
Some good looking chaps back in the day
I was kinda disappointed that constantine didnt have even a slight cleft/split chin
The Ancient Roman people were tanned Mediterranean type just like Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, George Clooney, Rafael Nadal, Eva Longoria, kim Kardashian, J Stalin, Catherine Z jones, Salma hayek etc
Great done
