Just like we talked about in class. These statues look right through you. This creates such an air of importance.. almost divinity. What I really like about Roman sculpture is that you can totally tell the subjects of each sculpture from each other. Even when Romans start adopting a bit of idealism into their sculptures at the cost of hyperrealistic details, I could still tell this sculpture of Augustus easily apart from one of Julius, and Pompey even more so. -- source link
