He looks like Mr. Heckles, the downstairs neighbor on Friends.

It was made using data from a 3D scan of a marble portrait in the museum's collection.


Is a marble portrait different than an statue?

How would the scan be better than the original bust if the original doesn't show the depression? Why change the hair style? Foolishness

Peyton Manning thinks Julius Caeser has a big forehead.

Exactly....
Using modern technology based on an artists rendering is just silly.

Make it realistic. Apparently he was fairly insecure about balding.

There are many on Caesar though, and none of them are far off from one another. It’s not like Jesus where people are pulling it out of their asses. Many of these sculptors did it in person.

I don’t think his head was that misshapen or lumpy. All those people were inbred though, so who knows

I think that's a reconstruction of his brother, Irving Caesar.
