The Face of Emperor Augustus (Photoshop Reconstruction)

"Artist's note: This project was barely halfway along when my 2004 PPC Apple G5 blew out its last processor in mid July, and I found myself without a means to complete ANY projects for the next month. Fortunately, another MacPro from 2006 was available within our price range and was purchased and shipped in late August. This is the first completed project on the ""new"" computer.

**As always, I have to emphasize that without a direct photograph of the person being reconstructed, there is a lot of room for guesswork regarding their appearance and I am no magician. I can only infer characteristics from historical descriptions, family lines, and demographics. Even the busts of Augustus sculpted from the period of his reign vary GREATLY in appearance from one artist to the next."
