Are these the *actual* colors that they used, as they would have appeared back in Roman times? It seems to me that they are a bit overstated, and in actual fact the colors would be a bit more subtle. At least with age, the elements would have made the statues seem more worn and make the colors more lifelike. Then again, I could be wrong, and the Roman world was gaudy enough to make even Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy shudder.. <p></p><i></i>
