Obviously.

THE closest I've seen to realistic images of the ancients are the pics at Pompeii (there may be others)Our standards of what is beautiful are different...I guess. Although I wonder about our standards...?

"Better looking but no cigar."

Yes, but imagine her with a seductive smile and a twinkle in her eye. Remember, much portaiture was very serious with the mouth closed. Actually, I didn't think that the sculpture of Anthony were so bad. Better looking than the older Ceasar. Also I think she looked as good as Queen Elizabeth, who had her admireers.
