Well, tomorrow I'm off to my three week vacation in Italy (Toscana/Marche region). I'll be raiding a few museums and etruscan tombs for sure. But I promise you more "Marble to Flesh" when I return home.
Talking 'bout Caracalla: He was half Syrian and half Punic, so I reckon he should get a bit darker complexion. If I remember correctly, he was not only fond of the gallic cape that gave his nickname, but used germanic clothing and even a wig of blonde hair to entertain and get support from the germanic legions. So, would you like to see Marcus Aurelius Antoninus with his blonde wig or his original black hair?
