What did the Roman Emperors really look like?

Will the real emperor please stand up!

Have you ever wondered what historical figures such as kings and emperors actually looked like? The emperors of the Roman Empire were some of the most powerful, and often most hated, people of their times. Some are famous and some are infamous. In any case Roman sculptors usually made many statues of the emperors, but generally in an idealized way. Using the latest technology, a Canadian artist has been able to reconstruct what some emperors probably looked like in real life. The images he has created are really life-like and make history more alive for us. See the videos and pictures to learn more about this interesting experiment:
