Regarding Alexander traits in portraiture this is a Chicken and the egg kinda thing.

For example, Alexander emulates many dieties, Zeus, Ammon, Apollo, etc.

Likewise, Alexander is emulated by the Seleucids, Ptolemies and even Pompey the Great.

The image of Pompey from the Munich Glyptothek is all republican verism with this ridiculous alexander mop-top on it.
