Season of Discovery Hotfixes - 23 April
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?

So they made a 3D model of Caesar that is somewhat closer to how he looked back in the day. So less heroic and more like an average human being. What do you think about the difference?
How many people think he looked:
How he probably looked according to descriptions:

Do these guys feel like they accomplished something meaningful?
What I mean by the above: does it really matter what the guy looked like? His accomplishments are what matters.Last edited by callipygoustp; 2018-06-23 at 08:24 AM.

Who cares? What he looks like doesn't change who he was or what he did/accomplished.

I agree, but it's still interesting to see a "real face" of a man with so much legacy. Originally Posted by Meat Rubbing Specialist

From what I understand the sculptors back in the day would strive to make the statue as lifelike as possible, this was for religious reasons.
The statue or bust doesn't look much like the 3D version..

The new version just looks wrong, don't know if the eyes are slightly too small - or the angle is awkward.

I agree. His head is too large, wide. Your link version appears more realistic looking. Originally Posted by Forogil

If that was his face, then he was an alien.

This 3d reconstruction is BS. They also did one of Cleopatra and purposefully made her look ugly to court controversy.

These "reconstructions" always look absolutely absurd. I have zero faith that this one, like most, are even remotely accurate.

i don't think you know how an average human being looks like if you think that this melon-head alien looks more human than the statue.So less heroic and more like an average human being.

Odds are, she pretended to have fallen for him because of his status. There are numerous cases of gorgeous women marrying ugly, but rich, powerful men. Most of the time, has nothing to do with love or even physical attraction. Originally Posted by Yehat

Roman's literally made a recreation of his face, that we have found everywhere. Modern humans, "5 reasons why Julius Caesar was uglier than you thought! “
There are multiple busts found, all from different parts of his life, from different artists... And these jerk offs think they know better.
