Quote:I'd quibble with the latter part. The paint may not necessarily reflect reality. For instance, why is the statue's hair brown when we know Augustus and Caligula were blond ?
It looks pretty blond to me, at least as blond as other examples of Alexander the Great in ancient art. I highly doubt that any Italians had truly blond hair.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
