I remember in the Satyricon that the characters refer to paintings and statues as being 'so very lifelike they seem to breathe', which since Petronius was connected to the Imperial family probably reflected what everyone saw as the very best sort of representation. Robert's reconstruction certainly fits that bill as far as Augustus skin/hair/face goes, which would also suit the near deified state he occupied as emperor and descendent of Aeneas. <p>Legio XX<br>
