Thanks for the video ! May I add a small info? The reason why the Roman statue looks so formal compared to the hellenistic sculptures is because romans inspired themselves from the Classical period. Even if there are copies of hellenestic statues, we have many roman scripts stating that hellenistic sculptures are not consider as art. That's why the emperors would copie classical statues (standing, idealistic body) and add their portrait on top ^^

Greek more idealistic.
Roman more realistic.
