When I watch the work of Panagiotis, I actually sit down with a cup of tea and watch. His work is captivating, bringing these characters to life with film snippets, written information to give an excellent all rounded interpretation of history, what happened and what these people looked like. The imagery closes the lengthy historical gap between these people & us! Not just faceless historical characters we read about, but face to face with them. They were real, they were human beings & Panagiotis restores them to us with such passion and panache. I feel sensations in the stomach, feelings of intimidation, of apprehension, of Joy, knowing that I am 'meeting' these people that once impacted & lived on the same planet that we do. TY so much for your efforts, your knowledge, skill and passion you put into your videos Panagiotis. 👍👏💯❤️
All of us who studied ancient history used to see them only as statues or paintings. But seeing them as everyday people is very different and fascinating.
The thing that's most remarkable of these Roman reconstructions is that they look just like modern Italians, as well as Renaissance paintings of Italians.
@@maassrddd My dear, what about Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Liguria, Lombardy…? Celts were here before the Romans arrived. I mean history first! In our peninsula there were different populations, you should know that. Think of Etruscans in Central Italy for instance. Obviously Romans spread along the Empire, especially with latest immigrations from Southern to Northern Italy. I took a dna test and uploaded the data on a site which is called my true ancestry. I got chills. We have been so mistreated and mislabelled for years that we didn’t even know who we actually were at some point. Do it! Believe me. I am 80% Roman, 88% Southern European if you add the percentage of Ancient Greeks (I was expecting it to be higher because my father is from Southern Italy, while my mum is from North-West Italy). Then I got small percentages from 0.5 to 0.1 and they were Illyrians, Gallo-Romans, Franks, Thuringii… all people that lived here, so you see a cake that is mainly Roman and then all teeny tiny of smallest pieces of populations that lived here. I got chills because I knew those populations, I studied them, but I am definitely Italian. No matter where my parents are from. I belong this place.
The biggest difference between he and his nephew Augustus was that he was willing to show Romans who were enemies mercy. Augustus made no such distinction, he destroyed his enemies regardless as even Antony found out.
@@jonathancummings6400 Absolutely. Kill all your enemies and those close to them, live for another 45-50 years, bring peace, and be remembered as a benevolent leader that brought stability and glory.
Amazing work. Looking into the faces & eyes of Caesar who held such power over life & death. It quite boggles the mind that under him lay the responsibility of over a million Gall’s being killed & enslaved. Yet he looks so ordinary. Later his eyes have hardened. He has seen too much. That’s brilliantly captured in the later portrayal of Caesar. Looking into the eyes of a young Brutus - forever infamous in history as the first to strike & around 60 frenzied Senators involved in the stabbing of Caesar 23 times. That several other senators were stabbed in this crazed assassination. Marvellous work. The explanations & music that goes with what we are viewing. History has always been a great love. But now to view these great characters as they must have appeared at the zenith of their powers & historical events. It is such a privilege to view. These men walked our earth so long ago & we can see how they must have looked in every day life.
When I was 8 yo, Julius Caesar became my best friend, my adviser and my source of strength. Having difficult childhood, I wanted to be so much like him . To this day ,he is my favorite historical figure .I just love him .He helped me a lot when times were tough. I imagined him slightly different ,lighter hair for some reason. Ave Caesar! My old friend . Thank you for bringing him to life ,even if only for a minute. To me , he is alive everyday .
The true faces of legendary figures of history that have had such an impact on our culture..from the month of July named after the great Julius Caesar to the word " brute" not forgetting Shakespeare's " Julius Caesar" amongst other many things!! So so interesting...great job as always!!
Hi, I'm Italian and I must say that not only the month of July has the name of Caesar, all many months of the year have names of Roman emperors or important people. the month of August is so called in honor of Octavian "Augustus" this because the calendar discovered and used by the Romans to count the temple is still used today. just as even today, all of Europe and the West use the Roman alphabet, the Roman calendar, Christianity, a religion proclaimed official by Rome, the Roman legal system, etc ... European and Western society was formed thanks to Rome. The roots of the west are Greek, but its trunk and branches are Roman. Today the West is Rome, that's why Rome will never die, because she forged her eternal glory in the Western world.
Rome has shaped Europe so powerfully that today everyone lives like Romans. And the children of Rome have followed in the footsteps of their father, Rome lives throughout the West, Julius Caesar had said that the glory of Rome would be eternal.
@@antoniospano8006 Yep, modern Western Civilization is but a more evolved version of the 400's A.D. Christian Western Roman Civilization. I will argue that we are Western Romans culturally.
@@antoniospano8006 I totally agree..our backbone is Roman...our historical , religious and cultural heritage is Roman I would even go as far as saying that some consider their soul to be a bit Roman too!
Brutus has always been a favorite character in history for me. I loved seeing him brought to life. It's like we're seeing their faces again for the first time in thousands of years.
We can do one better with such historical figures: we have bones, and DNA 🧬 , that said, only late-mediæval monarchs had likenesses captured by artists that survive into our time.
I always wonder when I watch your videos, how these people would react to our modern technology that you use so brilliantly to bring them back to life.
The rendition from the Tusculum Bust reminds me a lot of Claude Frollo from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. I can see similar mannerisms and voice of a man who immediately commands attention and respect.
It's amazing to see or imagine what they looked like and knowing how strong and powerful they had to have been to endure and battle so hard. I can't believe it would be in modern times.
Brilliant !! When Caesar besieged Vercingetorix at Alesia, his soldiers built a stockade around the town. Realising that the Gauls were defeated, Vercingetorix released the women and children. But Caesar did not take them captive. Instead he left them to die in the stockade.
Great work Panagiotis , I love to see this cool headed genius. How ironic it is the optimates and the conspirators though by doing away with him they could preserve the Republic , but the Opposite happened ..long LIVED the empire. Aye Caesar!
How about cardinal woolsey, Sir Thomas More, Saint Thomas A Becket,, Merlin, Lancelot, Maid Marion, Robin Hood, Morgan Le Fay? I know they were fiction, but I'd love to see what they looked like; and I doubt that Mark Anthony looked like Marlon Brando!
I always wondered about that colloquialism. The Roman Empire already existed, long before Caesar was even born. They controlled vast, ethnically diverse areas already. The civil wars of Antony and Octavian resulted in the Principate government under the control of one man. But I suppose it's simpler to explain in that sense. An empire needs and "emperor."
I wish I could but the earliest paintings about them was almost three centuries after they lived, mostly inspired by the faces of holy men who lived in Syria-Palestine. So they wouldn't be an accurate depiction of them.
Καταπληκτική δουλειά, Παναγιώτη, όπως πάντα! Μόλις ήρθε η ειδοποίηση για το βίντεο, το άνοιξα αμέσως! Έχω, όμως, μια απορία; Γιατί επέλεξες να απεικονίσεις τον Βρούτο με γένια; Απ' όσο γνωρίζω, οι Ρωμαίοι άφηναν γένια μόνο σε περιπτώσεις μεγάλου πένθους.
Your Caesars look very realistic. They have 'politician faces'. Also the first one kinda looks like a relative of Totti. Approved by the Roma football team.
The Tusculum Bust is in my mind the most realistic depiction of Julius Caesar, because it shows both his receding hairline and the wrinkles that a man in his 50s would have.
I always pictured Brutus as a whiney little spoiled brat in my mind. Here he looks normal and somewhat young, perhaps 28. I believe he was 40 years of age at the time of Caesar's assassination.
Was Caesar not bald? I think I remind a remark in the Cicero Trilogy where Cicero said something like he "could see Caesar's bald head entering the senate".
We do not know what color Caesar's hair was. He probably was blond, not dark haired. Also, depicting Caesar with a stubble beard is ahistorical. Caesar didn't like hair on his body and had excess hair plucked from his body. Ouch!
Roma su dominio imperial desde la victoria de escipion rl avricano 200 años sntes de cristo. Para despues venir el mas grande y darle grandeza a roma julio cesar. Vonquisto vio y vencio desde el norte de africa. Hispania las galias. Hoy francia parte de bretaña. Luego vinieron otros hasta un poco mas despues de cristo octaviano vespasiano marco aurelio trajano y adriano. Hubo otro que pudo ser muy grande. Tras la muerte fe cesar. M.antonio al saber que no seria el sucesor optando por su sobrino octaviano. Se volvio rancio rencoroso cosa que no era antes. Murio de mala manera. Suicidsndode.
Julius Caesar had deep bright blue eyes fair golden yellow hair with the locks cut out his marvel head doesn't let u know this but he was definitely some one U can dreem about I know it's MEN and always has been and one if not the best emperor/ man in the world has ever seen or at least I woman could ever possibly dreem of true power Change the recreation so I can imagine how he really looked

Caesar was said to be handsome as a young man and you see it here. You did a great job with the Tusculum portrait as well. Thanks❤
The biggest difference between he and his nephew Augustus was that he was willing to show Romans who were enemies mercy. Augustus made no such distinction, he destroyed his enemies regardless as even Antony found out.
Sadly, Octavian likely learned that lesson from his great-uncle's death.
Better safe than sorry.
@@illerac84 It's why he died at age 76 almost 77 a nonviolent death, instead of being carved up!

Truly, a "COLOSSUS". His life influences the lives of everyone who lives even now, over TWO THOUSAND YEARS after his time.
There are others doing this kind of work but no one matches your recreations, historical research and dramatic back-drop: thrilling!

Parabens! Eu aprecio seu trabalho, é uma aula de cultura e história,continue nos brindando com a sua arte! Muito obrigada! 💥💫🙌👏
Brilliantly done as always .Great piece of history too 🥰
Spectacular performance of faces and excellent lesson of history. Thank you very much,.

Outstanding work 👏 One of the best. Thank you again, Panagiotis 🌷🌷🌷
Your work just gets better and better. A complete joy. Congratulations!
Amazing I’d love to see some of these for the Medieval kings like William the Conqueror

Interesting and worthwhile video.
This work should be featured in history textbooks or ebooks. Amazing. Priceless. It makes me even more interested in history.
Great video, as always!
Desde Lima Perú 🇵🇪 te saludo admirando tan real transformación a una animada 3D 👍🏆🤗🥰

An excellent presentation as always. Thx

It was a dream when i was a little girl to see the face of Caesar.... You realize it....I'm in love with your work...Thx a lot. 👍🌹
You got my best side.
Hi
@@Canev821 Salve.
Hey, watch out for the Brutus guy. He looks like trouble.
You're not *Gaius* Juluis Caesar, you're *Giaus* an imposter!
It's amazing to see or imagine what they looked like and knowing how strong and powerful they had to have been to endure and battle so hard. I can't believe it would be in modern times.
Spectacular, fascinating and genius. Thank you so much. Xxx

Caesar to soothsay.. "the Ides of march have come". Soothsay to Caesar "aye Caesar but not gone" the rest his history.
I want to see Mark Antony，thanks
Will do!
How about cardinal woolsey, Sir Thomas More, Saint Thomas A Becket,, Merlin, Lancelot, Maid Marion, Robin Hood, Morgan Le Fay? I know they were fiction, but I'd love to see what they looked like; and I doubt that Mark Anthony looked like Marlon Brando!
Excellent work here
Very nice video! Good work! The music is too loud though. I just wanted to let you know that I turned it off.
Or lower the volume.
Extraordinaire 🏛⚔❤❤🙏
I would say that Cassius's face has very Greek features.
I always wondered about that colloquialism. The Roman Empire already existed, long before Caesar was even born. They controlled vast, ethnically diverse areas already.
The civil wars of Antony and Octavian resulted in the Principate government under the control of one man.
But I suppose it's simpler to explain in that sense. An empire needs and "emperor."
Very Italian looking ❤️🇮🇹
Shocked they weren’t africans ! Who could have guessed ! ?
Ceaser look like Italian football defender Giorgio Chillieni
I would love to see Margret pole, her family, Thomas Moore, and anyone from the Viking era.
The faces one still see in the street of rome.
We have a leader of crime here in Brazil who calls Marcola; your face is very close of Julius Caesar retrait.
Could you imagine going back in time & actually looking Julius Caesar in the face??
Ave César! general y conquistador
I have an idea for one of your next videos: the byzantine Laskaris dynasty.
AND the oldest autopsy record known to us now is the one done on Julius Caesar.
Very good. It´s a privilege know story this way ,with facts and photos
Could you do the faces of famous composers? Like Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, etc....?
Most of the ancient heroes were hotties. ❤️
Can you portray the Apostles Peter and Paul? I know there are likenesses of them from fairly early, but no busts.
I wish I could but the earliest paintings about them was almost three centuries after they lived, mostly inspired by the faces of holy men who lived in Syria-Palestine. So they wouldn't be an accurate depiction of them.
I'd like to see an explanation of how you do this. I'm very impressed! Do you write about your method, somewhere?

Το "Ρωμαικο Εθιμο" είναι το μαλλί και το γένι πάνω από τον ώμο. Ο Βρουτος στο νόμισμα του "Eid Mar" είναι με γένι.
Impressiona!
Cool..... 😎
La cara de Ciceron es de las mas llamativas , parece que estuviera viva.
He was kinda hot
Well, he DID DO WELL WITH THE LADIES of his time. You are like those ancients, which is cool!
Julius Caesar was actually bald, many of his busts are quite flattering about it, it's mentioned by Suetonius.
received hairline to about the centre of his head but he never went skinhead.
Marco Antonio, please
Congratulations Sir !!!!!!
Caesar♥ * . *
The Marcus Iunius Brutus face was so real that for a moment I thought he was going to stab me too
Caesar wasn't bad looking!
No tiene subtitulos
What a beautiful man. Salve Caesar
what was in rome when Sulla die and Crassus lost his army in parthia ?
VERY GOOD
So he looked like the “ sell me a pen 🖊 “ guy
Brutus😊
Cleopatra hated March so much because Caesar was killed in that month.
Your Caesars look very realistic. They have 'politician faces'. Also the first one kinda looks like a relative of Totti. Approved by the Roma football team.
I like it but I still like Ciarán Hinds acting of ceaser if its going to be dramatized into a film/show his face commands respect and fear alike
No Ceaser look like Italian football defeneder Giorgio Chillieni
The Tusculum Bust is in my mind the most realistic depiction of Julius Caesar, because it shows both his receding hairline and the wrinkles that a man in his 50s would have.
Well that's characters I've seem in ROME2 total war.
could we please see how simonetta vespucci looked like in real life? 🥺
I always pictured Brutus as a whiney little spoiled brat in my mind. Here he looks normal and somewhat young, perhaps 28. I believe he was 40 years of age at the time of Caesar's assassination.
Was Caesar not bald? I think I remind a remark in the Cicero Trilogy where Cicero said something like he "could see Caesar's bald head entering the senate".
i think he had a received hairline to about the centre top of his head but never shaved it all off.
wow
How about doing this for famous early Americans, like George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and others.
Sure thing ☺️
Julius ceasar actually pose for the sculpture?why he spend 24 /7 on the battle field.
Julius Caesar looks like an average italian.
Cesar, Cleopatra lover.
Even you went under
Brutus looks like FPS Russia.
Ave Caesar!
Hail Gaius!
✋
Only thing I'd change is movie Caesar's hair line back about 4 inches and institute a poorly executed combover, per historical sources ;)
Ή μουσική όλα τά λεφτά.
Show
MAYBE THE AUTHORS WERE CONDITIONED BY THE CURRENT ASPECT OF THE INHABITANTS OF CENTRAL / SOUTH ITALY.
Wouldn't mind seeing the mongol khans on here
Brutus kind of looks like Pete Buttigieg
Julias Ceasar is very attractive
Alea jacta est!
