I was browsing the internet when I stumbled upon this marvellous bust of Julius Caesar. It was made by the incredibly talented sculpture artist Andrea di Pietro di Marco Ferrucci back in the early days of the 16th centuary.

Take a look at him! That's how a man should look like. Why don't you make a portrait inspired by this bust? It must remain true to every detail of course, but it could be possible. And the result would be breathtaking to say the least. Create the portrait!

During the years since the camera was invented the classic bust have been photographed from various angles. Some of those angels could be taken into consideration while creating a portrait based upon it.

Some examples:

What is that face on his chest all about?
If this were a normal legionnaire, it could be a phalera, a medal given for bravery/service/etc. that was typically not part of the armor but worn over their armor on parade. Since it's Julius Caesar, and actually part of the armor, it's just a status symbol instead. That sort of armor would be largely ceremonial.
