It is surmised that the Romans used a template for their facial portraits. The same art style is seen on the famous Egyptian mummie casings.

The evidence for templates is with the heavily accentuated eyes, but look at multiple of these portraits, if you separate the face into bands, such as the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose etc., it does emerge that the individuals share features.

The portraits are stunningly beautiful nevertheless.
