Friends, Romans and Classicists: Is This the Head of Julius Caesar?

A bust found at the bottom of a river in Arles, France, may be the truest representation of Julius Caesar ever found. The marble sculpture of a man in his 50s, with facial wrinkles and a receding hairline, may have been carved from life. Archeologists say the bust dates from 49 to 46 B.C. when Caesar reigned and the town of Arles was founded. It also resembles official portraits of Julius Caesar from coins struck in his lifetime.

This sculpture is, I should say, a very nice piece of work---and looks remarkably good for something that has been at the bottom of the Rhone for a couple of thousand years. There is, I suppose, a remote possibility that it does represent Julius Caesar, but no particular reason at all to think that it does---still less to think that it was done from life....I'm afraid it's "start again" time on the explanations for this one.

If I had a face like that, would I want it immortalised in stone for all time?
