I have visited the Virginia State Art museum in Richmond which has the better preserved of the two full size sculptures of Caligula known to survive. It is quite impressive and they put a lot of work into restoring it.
Wow, It's always impressive to see those kind of statues. I remember the first time I saw a bust of a roman emperor (Adrian) in a museum in Spain. Stood there for hours.
Seb—have you read any of Robert Fabbri’s VESPASIAN series? Really entertaining. Really hard look at what people are capable of if they are told they’re infallible…
Oh no, but they look pretty interesting. Adding them to my list, currently finisingh the series of the Eagle by Simon Scarrow, where Vespasian is a really important character.
Another good piece.
