What does it mean to “render the bone structure of statues” ? A statue is already a three dimensional rendering. Besides Caucasian bone structure is supposed to include all of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa which is pretty much the bounds of the Roman Empire. I don’t remember any black or Asian Roman emperors so I have no idea who you think is being excluded here.

- saeranv 6y agoI commented about this above, but the race of various Roman emperors is not as clear as we think due to the cosmopolitan nature of the region, and different (lack of?) racial constructs. I believe Septimus Severus, for example, might have been black.
