I’m really glad you rerendered Nero this version seems much closer to the sculptures and really brings him to life. It’s curious because at rest his face seems superficially unprepossessing but you do see some hints of the creepiness that he must have given off in real life too.
That’s what power can do, it can turn people evil.
NERO: He had that psychopath face. Easily the kind of face one needs to avoid
Nero looks like a typical bully at a British school who would demand you give him your lunch but then after school time still beat you up!
Probably what he was as a kid🤣😂🤣
I had exactly the same impression!
to me he looks like the kid you'd find in the locker after class lol
Oddly specific
Reminds me of a British Prime Minister.
Too bad that Claudia Acte (Nero's mistress and true love) was not included. Apparently she cared for him until the end. When Nero died she gave him a proper roman burial.
Love love your work! Absolutely stunning. I have read all the great Roman historians, countless novels, studied Latin extensively and yet nothing had ever made me feel the awe of feeling as if I met all of the emperors and other famous figures you bring to life Panagiotis. I am sharing these with many friends too...extent to Ancient Greece too please!
I think this is probably the most accurate representation of what Nero looked like that we can get. Wasn't bad-looking actually. I think he should have been depicted squinting a bit, because he was nearsighted and back then they didn't have corrective lenses or surgery. Nice work.
Nero was a monster! I hate him. I come to see Octavia.
@@olyamereacre3326 I think he was a nut, but in his defense, he may not have been responsible for the fire. In fact, he seems to have done everything he could to help. I think there was some lead poisoning among the wealthy Romans back then...
No Sporus? We don't have any depiction of him? Should be interesting, since Nero thought he looked a lot like his second wife.
Soprus was like poppaea, this is why nero Marry him after poppaea's death.
@@Milonga1715 Sporus was poppea.
Title says Nero's women, Sporus wasn't a woman even though Nero pretended that Sporus was his dead wife
Amazing work when it comes to the Emperors; but in regard to the women; you modernize their hair and their features to the 21st century... looking at the female statues; they’re foreheads are low and their hair is curly/ wavy; but your work is amazing!!!
I agree
The hair of these women was styled and curled with curling iron, etc, and their foreheads appeared short due to the hairstyle and how it was parted. Anyway I have seen better statues of these women who captured their facial features and hair much better. But I get what you.
Other statues Agrippina the mother of nero

And her his grandmother Agrippina major and wife of Germanicus,

Do Caligula and his sisters next.
Jeez!!! They are just perfect and real!!! Nero smiling at you is chilling and he looks such a good guy!!!
Why, not? Caligula did.
@@yepiratesworkshop7997 🥁 Ba dum ts 😁😄
@@LindaMz24 Ahhh!!! Somebody finally caught it.
Was it Caligula more cruel than Nero?. Nero was the last emperor of Roman Empire?
Poppaea Sabina is described in a poem written by Nero as having amber coloured hair. She probably used Henna to dye it. Why have you given her dark-brown hair?
I think the facial reconstructions look great, but I am disappointed by the hair. These women had extremely elaborate hairstyles, that probably required several hairdresser slaves to maintain, but you have given them all quite plain hair.
Might have been too much work to recreate, or the artist wanted us to see them as they would look today.
The horror music matches Nero! I read up on him.... he was evil. But anyway, great work. It feels like ur meeting them in person
Yeah, he was the literal antichrist. Eqrly Christians even devised the "666" number as a way to refer to emperor nero in secret. That guy was awful
I would like to see the period hair pieces appear more realistic from the statues.
Please do Greek Philosophers! Many have busts made of them, Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus.
Those are all fantasy-busts, mostly from the Age of Enlightenment (19th century Europe)
Me with yaa
Pythagoras, the same dude who gave us the theorem? If so, screw him.

Nero- sick, horrifying man - terrible legacy. Seriously creepy to see a fleshed out version of him- but, well done all the same. Your Chanel is very interesting.
Nero look more like a german rather than italian
@@richardque4952 The son of the Blessed ; Germanicus.
@@willempasterkamp862 Germanicus wasn't called that because he was German, but because of his campaigns in Germany. Also, Nero wasn't the son of Germanicus anyway, that was Caligula, who was given that nickname by Germanicus' troops sine he would often accompany his father on campaign and wore a kid's size legionaries' uniform. The nickname translates roughly to "little boots" after the "boots" worn by the legionaries.
@@Riceball01 'Art thou Chrestus, the son of the Blessed ?' Mark 14:61 is a retorical question from Caiaphas.
Nerone è stato un discreto se non un buon imperatore. La cronaca dell'epoca lo dipinge male perchè ci è pervenuta principalmente quella dei suoi oppositori. Nerone era contro l'aristocrazia ed a favore del popolo. A lui si deve la ricostruzione della Roma imperiale e non è affatto vero che sia responsabile del famoso incendio che in sette giorni distrusse la suburbia della città vecchia.
Love seeing the faces come alive, but object to all the women having modern hair, they were very serious about their hairdo's!
After the death of Poppaea Nero ordered Sporus, a young freedman, to be castrated and then married him; according to Cassius Dio, Sporus bore an uncanny resemblance to Poppaea, and Nero even called him by his dead wife’s name
You show them as they would be now, it makes them more realistic to me. Excellent work.
You got Nero's eyes. Intensity and insanity. Frightening.
Great work.
He was described as having weak eyes.
Nero looks even more evil than ever with this technology you have.
IKR? He's downright creepy!
Fascinating, you did it again Panagiotis.
Bringing historical figures to life and the music you chose fits perfectly.
I wonder what the " Dying Celt's" statue face would look like using this? I know he wasn't a Roman but it would still be interesting.
Yess! Also, Boudicca and Vercingetorix
The pure Romans (royal houses) were white, blond, and light-eyed, but as the empire expanded they began to mix. but originally the romans are white
@@georgebaccett9951 So whites are only blondes with blue eyes? 🤔
Omg, always the same , in fact south Italy was and is Greek in that time like poppea Roman and Etruscan blond , brown hair , brown , green, blue eyes , norest Roman mixed with German , norwest Roman mixed whit Galia ( France) is not necessary to be blonde , German Slavic , vikingos, in fact where is your culture in the past ?
Agrippina the Younger was blond. Also there are a variety of other statues of her that have very differen facial structures that the one chosen for her here.
It would be interesting to see more of a composite.
Amazing ! I would love to see faces from the Augustean period like Octavian, his sister Octavia the Younger, his nephew Marcellus, Mark Anthony or Agrippa !
These reconstructions/interpretations suggest that Neros wives, while not unattractive, are not the stunning beauties that one would expect an Emperor to have access to.
Maybe because he really like men better than women?
And Nero, he just LOOKS like an adult, overindulged, spoiled brat.
Even if I didn’t know anything about him, just seeing someone with that “look” wearing the Imperial Purple would be terrifying.
Well Nero was a brat, but he was still a farely effective emperor. And our beuty standars aren't the same of the romans
I suppose these women were considered very beautiful back in those days
Also cause they were political arrangements?
If the post-er would have put make up and styled their hair like the rich ladies of Rome that they are and statues show I'm sure they'd probably look a lot more sexy. These are slave or poor girl hair styles of the age. Great job though with faces.
Perhaps beauty standards in Rome were different.
The women hair look modern.
Bc it's so hard to render those flavian curls really 😆😆
Your artistic rendering of Nero is amazing. The statue came to life!
Good Job. We know from old books that the Roman's especially men were attractive. We also know that in the Ancient world Women with long noses were considered particularly attractive. That's why I guess some of Nero's wives had a slightly longer nose
Love your work. Thank you. You’re exceptionally talented.
Imagine what those eyes saw and what words those mouths spoke during the insane days of Nero.
Excellent work! Could you do a video about your workflow creating these?
Congrats again. The amount of work put in must be truly staggering, A perfectionist indeed. Salut.
Miraculous!! I am so thankful and delighted I have found your channel. Your skills are too wondrous for words. Nero looked sadistic and cruel even when he, 'smiled,' more like narcissist gleeful delight. You made his face handsome but his double chin was a sure sigh of excess in all things. Thank you! 😊 xxxx❣👏🌟👌❤
Nero seemed pretty close to the statue but I feel most of the women looked a bit more generic than the statue would indicate
@@eddysgaming9868 - the statues had more personality and individuality than the animations. Imho
Great work
Bellissimo lavoro! Grazie!
Should have included Sporus lol. But seriously, great job! Amazing work.
this stuff is great. This channel is going to blow up.
Great job on Nero!!! I'm so happy you corrected his hair and eye colour 🙂👍👍👍
Thx 😊
He was blonde?
@@rivergirl3444 yes
@@panagiotisconstantinou I thought he was redheaded! Or that was Caligula. Though yes, he's described as blond
But I doubt he had such "light blond" hair though. I suspect his hair would veer towards auburn or a darker shade of blond ( like many europeans. )
Excellent, great job
Amazing history lesson. Great art. Thanks for sharing.
Great video.
Excellent work, the potential for its use in sciences, research and also entertainment is unlimited. May I ask which modeling, rendering or animation software you’re using? Also thanks for sharing your work!
Love the channel BTW!❤
Sorry, but Agrippina younger in real isn't look like Monica Beluci. And very good for this work.
So intresting! Thank you.
Just love the music that goes along with these videos! It's a perfect fit!😊
Thank you!
Good work again
Just found your channel; great videos. Any upcoming on the Byzantine, Bulgarian or early Church figures planned? Many thanks
Thx. Will try as Medieval times and christian zealotry didn't allow sculptures of normal humans to exist. There's mostly church paintings and coins
@@panagiotisconstantinou Can you please also make photorealistic portrait from Nero's Grandmother Agrippina major and his Grandpa Germanicus.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanicus#/media/File:Germanicus_-_Mus%C3%A9e_Saint-Raymond_(Toulouse).jpg
In my opinion, this bust of Poppaea Sabina depicts her facial features better than the one on this clip. So, it would be great if you could make a photo-realistic portrait of this statue of Poppaea.

Besides, I love your recreations. And Keep on doing the good work.
My question is: When the women clearly have distinct hairstyles for the time, why don't you put those distinct hair style on theses women instead of straggly hair that they wouldn't ave worn then?
The Paparazzi took them by surprise 😱
These images are created by taking existing photos of real people and aligning them onto the image of the original sculpture. So, while it's easy to find photos of eyes, it's hard to find real photo recreations of the ancient hairstyles. He probably chose to do modern hairstyles rather than do a "bad" recreation.
They have slave girl like hair styles here, not the elite rich ladies of Rome that the statues show us. Would have been awesome to see the hair recreated with the face. Js
@@AndrewMacLaine So that's why these interpretations look oddly familiar and not at all realistic.
Cleopatra, on another video, reminded me of Leticia Casta. Nero's mother here, reminded me of Monica Belucci. And she had no resemblance to the statue.
Increible !!! Thanks 👏👏👏👏👏
Nero was a busy, busy boy :D
do caligula also
Paul Bettany really let himself go.
Yeah...
Ave legionário 🇮🇹🤚⚔️🏛️🦅
😂As someone who loves mister Bettany as an actor, I find this comment hilarious yet mildly objectionable.
His mother, Agrippina, was red head!
Yes! And also Poppea Sabina.
People talking about how creepy and horrifying Nero was as if they aren't capable of becoming just as sick--Nero was an artist, a hippie even, who was thrust into the position of most powerful man in the world by his greedy and spiteful mother. He did a horrible job. He did horrible things. He is to blame for his own actions but let's not act like he came into this life by his own volition. He was a fish out of water that went insane. He should be looked on with disgust, we should never lower our standards for what a leader needs to be, but you're all treating this like a fairytale.
I'd like to see highlights of his historical moments as we enjoyed with the Commodus video.
Can you make one with Titus Flavius Josephus! 😊
2:08 Claudia Octavia is my woman type😍💘💗
They should have their hairstyles for authenticity
It reconstructs together Mark Antony, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Octavian.There are many faces on Trajan's column and other monuments. Also the Greek statues found buried in the Parthenon.
2:30 Sporus twin! But I guess Sporus looked a bit more masculine? He was a boy after all. And also both him and Poppaea had scarlet-ginger hair and brown eyes. (Also reminds me of like Scarlett Johansson)
Good job. Have you done "Vespasian" yet? I recommend you bear in mind this younger rendition of him when you render his aged self. "Vespasian" / the wasp was his nickname, but the office of names registered it as his official name.
Amazinggg
Amazing
wonderful. a request: SCIPIO AFRICANUS and other figures from the Second Punic War.
Love the experience, but some of the faces seemed a bit thinner than the sculpture.
Poppea's model looks like her statue. The other women, not so much.
Statilia was the only enough smart to survive 30 years after the death of Nero. The last news we have of her, tell she was one of the "queen" of the "high society" in Rome under the reign of domitian.
It would be nice to see other expressions, like Nero mad or angry, Octavia lucious and seductive, Poppaea sad etc.
Hello my friend, what is the way to restore and color pictures?
What was considered blonde in Rome during those days? The Latin term probably translate to Light brown...usually blonde hair was associated with exotic people who were slaves from Germania, Gaul and the Celtic regions..Also prostitutes were required by law to dyed their hair blonde, then many Roman men and woman followed suit...
Yes, occurred to me too. Light blonde to Seutonius might be light or medium brown to us.
"Flavius" means yellow or yellowish/brown. Nero descended also from the Ahenobarbus clan which meant "red beard." You can see the word "barba" (Italian for beard), or the English "barber." Does anyone know offhand what Latin word Suetonius used to describe his hair?
@@TenOrbital Romans depicted people with clearly blond and red hair too. Besides, many people that were painted in Roman frescoes had medium, chestnut to chocolate brown hair and not black hair. So, stop pretending as if Romans were super dark folks who consider anything lighter that jet black as blond. Anyway, Flavum means blond, while subflavum means rather dark or sandy blond.
@@italuswikiano1191 Flavum , flavius doesn't mean brown but yellow or golden. In Latin, the terms brunus, brunneus and fuscus describe brown colors in all shades.
Well, there were natural blond and red haired Romans, but they were a minority. In contrast to that, among the Germanics and Gauls Nordic blond or red hair was very common. Hence, light hair was associated with the Germanic tribes and Gauls. Furthermore, Romans described the hair of some Germanic people as whitish, which means they had platinum blond hair. Platinum blond hair was rather uncommon among Romans since Roman blond hair looked golden, honey colored or sandy. Remember, blond hair comes in different shades and hues.
Very good
Wowwww Unbelivable.... one of the Grwatest Viseo Ever! Love this! Tears in my eyes.. what did konstantin to the world?
*Very intriguing...*
Pretty Damn Amazing !!!
Interesting results! Why the unnatural and often out-of sync blinking? It takes away from the excellent and realistic models.
please do the 2 Riace bronzes (Riace warriors)
Where's my boy Sporus at?
no statues of him, just as there were none of Acte, but he looked just like Poppaea Sabina.
@@gwerin2008 So that could be a slightly altered version of Poppaea Sabina. I WANT TO SEE MY BOY SPORUS!!!
wow - amazing
Holy crap just turn his hair dark brown and I swear that was my brother in law. This is great work!!!
He looks like a Kevin tbh
Too bad you cant keep the statue’s hair style.
Augustus was said to also have golden hair and large grey blue eyes.
Poor Claudia Octavia looks so sad, as if she knew that being married to Nero would not bring her a good end. Statilia, when divested of her pasta hairstyle (“shells in the front, fettuccini in the back”) looks pretty and wholesome. She had to have at least some intellect and street smarts to be able to survive Nero and die in total obscurity. Good for her.
You made agripina the elder nero's mother look like Shannon Dorothy actress from charmed and beverly hills 90210.
Genial!
Shouldn't his hair be red? His family's name, aenobarbus means Cooper beard, because most members of that family had red hair
Why not fix the women's hair? They look all chopped up.
Qué lástima que no haya ningún retrato de Actea, hubiera sido interesante. Gracias.
Astonishing many thanks. (He doesn't even look like Peter Ustinov).
Big like 👍 👍
You would think most of the woman would have very long hair
Εξαιρετική δουλειά... Σου δίνω ιδέα... Φτιάξε και των αρχαίων Ελλήνων αλλά και της μυθολογίας μας...
Ναι συμφωνώ 😊
@@panagiotisconstantinou περιμένω να δω πως έμοιαζαν οι θεοί του Ολύμπου κ όχι μόνο 😉
Καλές δημιουργίες...
These are so realistic. I’m now more than ever convinced that we could be living in a simulation hahaha because if these renders are any indication, we could create realistic simulations in just a few decades.
Agrippina the younger here looks like actress Vera Farmiga of the Conjuring movie series.
The women are OK. They look like average Italian ladies we see today (brown or even black hair and eyes with light skin). But Nero looks more German than many Germans I have met.
Its because the Julio-Claudians were Celtic or Germanic stock, due to the Celts' sacking Rome in the 4th. century BCE, and leaving their genes in the population. This is why so many Romans later have the nickname "Rufus" - "Red haired", later. Augustus too was strawberry blond and had bright blue/gray eyes, like a typical Celt.
According to your logic Scythians look like modern central Asians.
Italy is only 30 km from Germany, and many Italians are blue eyed and blonde haired, after all they are European.
@@johnkelly1787 Those are the Lombard, who moved into Northern Italy from the Elbe-region of Germany in the 7th. century. Every Italian I know from Rome to Southern Italy is Arabic stock.
@@NorceCodinethey were romans😂
Wow, Nero's mom looks like someone I went to high school with lol and she was actually Italian!
The blessed lady
You choose wholesome-looking faces. The real faces of the imperial family would have had murder, treachery, deceit, and jadedness etched across and into their faces.
You can find that guy in any pub or stadium in england
Spots? Were most likely freckles or moles like many have. Redheads have pink moles.
Nero here looked a bit like Chris Farley.
Neat work.
his second wife looks like the girl who played king johns wife in the russel crowe version of robin hood except for the dark hair
