Document Summary
Caligula comet shaped blocks of hair, crab claw on the left side, swallow tail on the right. Has a little bit of an overbite, traces of paint survive around his eyes lashes and the iris, free standing bust, highly decorative wavey design, reserved for indoor spaces, not meant to be used for anything else. Characteristic hairstyle, big swallow tail part over left eye, big crab claw over right eye. But not augustus, a little bit of an overbite, the brows are different, temples are slightly concave, the hair isn"t nearly as bushy or puffy this is a portrait of augustus that has been recut from portrait of caligula. Evidence of a practice that is widespread the condemnation of memory. Bad emperors that the senate doesn"t like, they try to erase memory of them, cross names out of transcriptions, take statues out, destroy them, etc. However, marble isn"t cheap don"t want to just throw away, so rework it.
