    Just thinking it would be interesting to get a feel for the Triumvirs - as of 43 BC, when the Triumvirate was set up, Augustus was just 20 years old - Antony was 40, and Lepidus - who was probably only stuck in there as makeweight - we are unsure of (we know he was praetor in 49 BC and died in 13 BC - we know least about him of the Triumvirs).

    So here are some faces to go with the facts:

    Augustus Caesar
    Octavianus/Augustus

    Marcus Antonius
    Marcus Antonius


    Marcus Aemilius Lepidus

    I must say - every image of Augustus, even the obviously prettied-up ones, suggest he was remarkably beautiful, almost epicene.

    (Thanks to The Throne of the Caesars for the image of Lepidus).
