"The evil was not in the bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease." ~Marcus Tullius Cicero
Once bread and circuses are offered people will become corrupted - even if they never asked for them in the first place. So Cicero (great man though he was) is partly in error here. Much later Tacitus explained "the more corrupt the state the more laws there are" as corrupt men needing more laws - in reality it is the endless laws that tend to corrupt the citizens. Pining that men are not morally good misses the point that statesman must deal with humans as they are - they are angels, and they can be corrupted by endless subsidies and regulations. If benefits and services are offered people will eventually start voting for more and more of them, and if there are endless regulations people will need to pay bribes for licenses and for being let off some regulations.
@@paulvmarks But since man's tendency is toward evil from his youth, the corruption of government and then the people is guaranteed. Limited govt that preserves by way of the sword is ideal, without too much legalism/lasciviousness, recognizing the Creator who gave the rights of man.
@@Eddy1938-b Thanks! A correction to my last comment: limited govt that preserves by way of self government (self control) and the Bible is best, rather than the sword, as seen in 200 yrs of America up until the revolution of 1960s, while the sword prevents crime by those unregulated by self control who fear punishment. The Bible is a big enough basis for self gov, while Rome's gods were not. The Founders cited it 34% of the time. Yes, but united Rome lasted 400 yrs, twice the USA's. But the church has lasted 2000, can endure empire and cause freedom and free market, not Oligarchy.
This is just absolutely incredible. I am an avid lover of history and it always drives me crazy when I can't picture what they looked like. You've truly brought history to life for me. Thankyou 💯❤️😍
Of all the artists who have attempted to create realistic portraits from marble representations, your work is head-and-shoulders (pun intended) above the rest.

I have learned that Sulla had gray colored eyes and the color of his hair was reddish. And his skin was very pale. And about Clodius Pulcher; I always thought it was a statue of Julius Caesar. Strange.

That’s actually a hot debate honestly a few scholars said he was blonde and blue eyed but the thing is that would make him look Germanic because blonde hair and blue eyes was rare in Rome the only ones who was like that were the ones from Germanic backgrounds who were taken as slaves and not trusted so this is why many scholars argue that point because Rome was in constant conflict with the Germanic tribes so it would be odd if them to look at someone who looks like the enemy to them but that’s what many professors say to me I don’t care they are dead we will never know how they actually look like….. also I would like to add Sulla was compared to Lysander in technic and appearance but Lysander was a Spartan with jet black hair but many say he was brown haired as well so we will never know and like I said hair color doesn’t matter their accomplishments did.
@@dtownblastinsalvi62 that's a dumb take. It is truth that black eyes and dark hair was common in ancient rome and greece, but fair eyes and fair skin wasn't rare also... and this is going back to the bronze age.
@@JM-nu6zk yes this is true but like I stated it was looked down upon this is why many Romans didn’t grow beard or let their hair grow long because it was a “vandal” trait

Cicero always overplayed the Cataline conspiracy. He always praised himself as savior of Rome when in reality this was just the very tip of the iceberg.
@Paul Mark: I also think so! @DTown Blastin Salvi : There were many red-haired or blond Romans This is proven by the epithets, such as Rufus or Ahenobarbus or Flavus, Rubius ect. This, of course, gave rise to remarks about the descent of Celts or Gauls. Nevertheless, they were full Romans, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus was probably also blond, as was Augustus. As far as I know, according to Plutarch, Lucius Cornelius Sulla was red-haired. During the civil war, even before he forced the Senate to appoint him dictator, it is reported that he was seriously ill. The cause was that his fair skin could not tolerate the sun. It is also often mentioned that Sulla usually wore a straw hat. However, during the siege and storming of Athens (87-86 BC), he did not wear it, so as not to lose the respect of his soldiers.

Here's the thing, too many people already complained that this artist makes the Romans too "Scandinavian" looking. He recreated Augutusts, Nero, and some other Italic emperors with light hair and eyes. This time he refrained from going by the sources, thus he didn't recreate Sulla with red-blond hair and blue eyes. Besides, Romans were making fun of Sulla for his very pale skin tone, too.
Its because the Celts had sacked Rome in the 4th century BCE and did what soldiers do. Many Romans later had reddish hair and pale green or blue eyes, including the Julio-Claudians. By that time most Romans probably felt that Augustus, Caligula, Nero, etc. look foreign, more like the barbarians, which in turn made them paranoid and on the edge.
Excellent Cicero, looks pretty much like I would expect him to look the last decade or so. Dour and sad. Clodius Pulcher looks too old, too furrowed. He was only 41 when he died. While the stresses of his life probably aged him somewhat faster than most people today, I don't think it would have been to this degree. He looks late 50s. His bust is probably made in a slightly veristic style, making him appear slightly older and more 'wise and experienced' than he really was. Conversely, veristic was a sort of hyper realism, so the furrows were probably correct in the bust, but made somewhat extreme. Thus keeping the main furrows in the forehead and the cheeks (if somewhat less pronounced) while the rest of the skin being more firm should probably make for a good Pulcher.
These people could be dressed in modern clothes and given current haircuts and but for the language barrier, they would blend in nicely with 21st century Romans.
That's what my Roman History professor many years ago. He said all politicians in the late Republic were corrupt. The Gracchi Brothers were the last of the non corrupt politicians.
How do you create these? Are the real face computer generated based on points taken from the statues? Or do you find real people who like the statues and then superimpose their faces on the statue?
There's only one bust from the Republic which is thought to be lifelike, of Julius Caesar, because it shows the skin aberrations on his throat, which is also shown on the coin that he had minted. I think the bust is in a private collection (or was). The skin aberrations were probably caused by when he was captured by pirates and they mock-hanged him. In particular Cicero's busts were mostly made in the age of enlightenment.
Have you ever seen a real portrait of Gengis Khan (surprise, he was red hair green eye, maybe an iranic of the steppes or a tocharian descendant)? It will be only a fantasy work. Anyway I can't see any massive impact of the mongol empire on nowadays world
@@hirpus66 LOL, Genghis Khan's grandson had his portrait done, and looked like a typical Asian. If Genghis Khan had red hair and light eyes, would have passed those features onto his sons and descendants. Genghis Khan wasn't some white boi. And the Mongols shifted world politics and took out a massive amount of the worlds population. They brought the black death in to Europe. Their impact was massive.
