ancientbeardart:Portait of Herodes Atticusmid-2nd c. CEAthens, National Archaeological Museum(images via ancientrome.ru)Herodes Atticus was the first Greek to serve in Rome as consul ordinarius (i.e., being elected at the beginning of the year for a normal term rather than being elected to replace another consul who had died during his term). He was also a philanthropist and patron of many public works projects. He had a pretty good beard, too. -- source link
