Two busts - where are they from?
#1
On my website, I use these two photos:
[Image: julia3.JPG] [Image: crassus_s.jpg]
The lady is Augustus' daughter Julia; the man is said to be Crassus - and the bust may be modern. I found the photos on the web, but have no idea where the busts can be seen. Does anybody know?

On a related note: does anybody have a decent photo of a portrait of Marc Antony that I can use? The one I now use
[Image: antony_s.jpg]
is from Budapest, but I do not know the photographer.

If you have Osprey's "Caesar's Civil Wars" there's a bust of Antony on page 30. It looks like it might be Egyptian made.

One of the best preserved is the one in the Vaticano Museum (Rome):
