## Caption

This portrait was carved for a person who lived 2,000 years ago. But is this really what he looked like?

In ancient Rome, portraits were stylized and full of symbols. They may not have depicted their subjects' appearance realistically.

Wrinkles, expressions, and hairstyles could denote a person's job or rank, or simply what was in fashion at the time. Learn more at the #LinkInBio.
