True, but then we're all aware of Roman culture to be highly influenced by styles and trends. It seems during Augustus's reign, the clean shaven look was in. However, what we do have is periphery evidence of tunic colour which supports what dan was saying, along with this new find. The pteryges really blew me away though.<br>

Dan, is there any way of knowing the shade or richness of the colours used? Too bad that one guy that knew his stuff about ancient paints wasn't around anymore, with more information he could probably tell us. <p>Magnus/Matt<br>
