Captivating, eerie and spooky all at the same time. Wonderful work Panagiotis.

Caesar looks like a dude who would appreciate a good joke.

I can't help wondering what the owners of those faces would think about their being brought back to life after 2, 000 or so years.

When I walked with my son 20 years ago through Tivoli I told him that the people in the past just look like us now. The only thing was that they had other clothing.

I've always been interested in Ancient Rome and characters from long lost Empires. The beauty, the savagery, all blend into a fascinating story of man, his failings, his disappointments, his passions, his achievements, his conquests. You're so passionate about bringing these characters to life. Thank you so much.

My favorite character in ancient Rome is Aurelia Cotta (mother of Julius Caesar) who was reputed to be the most beautiful of her time and regarded to have been more beautiful than Helen of Troy. Not to mention her influence to make her son the most famous of them all. Could P. Constantinou make 'live' of her? It would be most intriguing.

Absolutely brilliant ! After about 45 years of studying Roman and Greek history, I would never have imagined that I one day would look into the eyes and faces of men who for me were my heroes of a long dead age. Yet here we are, due to your painstaking work, we are able to face those heroes as they genuinly looked to those who knew them personally. These portraits are works of art and truly excellent historical reconstructions in one ! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us.

Interesting that Brutus was good looking, mild, harmless. Surely he had a disarming smile

When I was a child growing up in Manhattan, I used to stare at the Greek and Roman statuary in the Met Museum and swear I saw people who looked like them on the bus, the subway, in shops and on the NYC streets all the time! They were very real to me.

Caligula is such a handsome young lad, I bet he is gonna be a good emperor. Oh, wait~

[Tomara]

Julius Caesar was not only a powerful man but also one who felt very deeply and that is why he took on the wrath of Rome for his love of Cleopatra.

If they were all placed in the crowd, they would go completely unnoticed. The faces are exactly like that of a modern European.

I've been a Latin teacher for over 20 years; studied it for over 30. This language as been my passion since I was 13. To see these images come to life is breathtaking and wondrous! But I think the best part is after studying and teaching year after year about these monumental figures and powerplayers in one of the greatest civilizations of all time, to find out Pompey looks like someone's creepy uncle and Caesar your best friend's dad! 😆 😆 🤣

[eternaldarkness]

Can we make a movie about Rome with those faces using deepfakes and using the original language(Latin) that will be awesome!🙃🤘

[Chendoart]

2:24 Brutus look like one of Paul Walker's brothers, one that keeps getting into trouble with the law 😂😂😭

[Stevieboy]

You can see why Claudius fell for Messalina - what a beauty!

[edwelndiobel]

What amazes me most about ancient Rome was how quickly the army could construct earth works and other engineering. Takes months for them to just finish a sidewalk today!

[claudiacaldeirasoares]

The sculptures make me imagine faces very different from what they are shown. Otavio's mouth, for example, is much more aligned with his nose in the sculpture than it is in the created image. It is the same with Messalina's mouth and nose. Nero has a prominent chin, but his jaw does not seem prominent as it is shown in the created image. He is also wide-eyed in the sculpture, very different from his eyes in the image. To me, the proportions of the faces (sculpture and image) are different.

[santiagorojaspiaggio]

Love how they all have kind of a philosophical/intellectual look.

[patriciapalmer]

You have done for thousands of us, who have stood in front statues and tried to imagine, what we couldn't do to our own satisfaction. Thank you for this wonderful gift !! Pat. America
