Faces of the Roman world
1) Italians from Pompeii (60 AD)
2) Egyptians from Fayum Mummies (1st cent. BC - 3rd cent. AD)
3) The Christ Pantocrator St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest depictions of Christ. Can be used as proxy for what a Levantine looked like. (500s AD)

Marble is porous and stainable, coating of sculptures with untinted wax for protection goes way back. As does encaustic painting; nothing much is preserved from classical easel painting, save for the fayum mummy portraits.

Since Hyraxes are very awesome. I present to you yet another extinct Pliohyracid. Meet Antilohyrax, a hyrax from the Late Eocene of Fayum, Egypt. A hyrax that resembled a gazelle, had tusks and a low metabolism for an animal its size. It was a cursorial browser.

Or Jesus might have had a short 'philosopher's beard' as in this 3rd century AD fresco of Moses and the burning bush from Dura Europa or this 2nd C Fayum portrait.

Ok, so I digress from all things for a moment - but there can be few things in world art/history of images as stunning and immediate as the encaustic mummy portraits from 1st-3rd century Fayum. Here's four particularly affecting examples...#Fayum
