Another from my photowalk in the Museo Nazionale Romano with Junko @jyokota. This gentleman has been made famous by Director Ridley Scott in "the Gladiator". He is Emperor Commodus, he was so fond of gladiator games that he himself wanted to fight (and we may imagine, often cheated to win), but the last time he didn't do very well and his adversary won... Judging from his face, he looked quite a debauched!
@golftragic Doesn't he? The display in this museum is fantabulous! @sarasotab Thank you, Robert! Re-reading the narrative, I admit I should be ashamed of the poor use of the English language, but the story is powerful! @joysabin I am in awe of the sculptor, who was able to reproduce the expression of disgust for anything and anyone except himself!
