Roman Emperors - Marcus Aurelius - Real Faces - The Last Good Emperor
We give a better, more detailed look at the life and reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, who was the last of the Five Good Emperors. We also examine the most important people in his life, his co-emperor Lucius Verus, his wife Faustina the Younger as well as his two sons, Annius and Commodus, with the latter contributing to the end of Pax Romana.

How beautiful when Marcus Aurelius smiled - such a handsome boy. Well done!
I really liked Marcus Aurelius. His philosophical writings helped in shaping who I am. What a shame that Commodus couldn’t follow his father’s philosophies.

Boy did his best. He never wrote anything, but at least he tried to rule as his father did, until the sheer amount of conspiracies made him change his mind.

Someone says he wasn't his son, his mother being a little too Easy. Surely he was too different from his"ufficial" father, too violent, phisically imposing and also really crazy

What he needed to do was put his top general in as his successor, not his son. He needed to stick to the system that had worked since the fall of Domitian!

Well Commodus ended the war with the macromanni by a peace treaty. Most people don't know that.

Wow. Great work! Bringing Marcus Aurelius to life makes him more of a individual than just a historical figure. Handsome too!
Lucius verus is very handsome ! Love the video
Have you ever thought about doing the 'Mona Lisa of the Galilee'? The stunning mosaic portrait of a young woman at ancient Sephoris ☺
MY PHILOSOPHICAL EMPEROR OF ROME! HAIL MARCUS! COMPASSIONATE FOR HUMANITY. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING REALISTIC VIEW OF THE MOST POWERFUL EMPEROR IN THE 🌎 .🙏😘😘😘
Bleeding out of humanity’s past and from an era that still holds the world spellbound, comes the living face out of superbly carved granite of one of history’s most enigmatic leaders, Marcus Aurelius. He was not only a valiant soldier, gifted orator and exquisite poet and philosopher, he brought justice and equality up a notch on the gun grip of ancient civilization. HIs wife and children and brother come through the wall of time as well, bringing with them a glimpse of their world in our endless need to understand our past and the people in it.

I always look forward to your videos! Your work is outstanding and the historical narratives are interesting.
Very good! Bringing these faces to life really gives the history a kind of fullness
I would love for you to do a Tudor video with everyone in the Tudor dynasty concentrated to one video
C'est fascinant, des hommes et des femmes qui ont traversé le temps et dont l'histoire s'est transmise de génération en génération mais que l'on connaît qu'à travers des sculptures . Là, ils prennent vie et ne sont plus des inconnus mais des personnes qui pourraient être de notre époque. Marcus Aurelius serait passé inaperçu dans une fac ( avec un autre nom) C'est fantastique.
Amazing! Subscribed. Btw could you bring back to life Napoleon and Wellington each with their Generals in the Battle Of Waterloo. It would be awesome to see them.
Excellent work, as usually. All men are incredibly handsome.
Fantastic

This is a great way to teach history.
It's eerie, because Annius looked a lot like me when I was that age. Maybe I'm his reincarnation. Aside from that, I like the fact that you made their teeth less than perfect this time; it's more realistic.
The Mass effect 2 soundtrack was a nice touch

Shocking and beautiful
I’ve studied ancient history and if you read contemporary third party accounts, you’ll get a better idea of how they looked. It’s well known that sculptors were under orders to flatter their subjects with idealistic and unrealistically better looking sculptures. Just think about portrait photos of today and how they look much better than the real person.

Thanks for your comment! I once read about a strategy of an artist who was trying to find the most realistic-looking sculpture/portrait by picking the ugliest one 😅 Although they say roman sculptures of this era used to be pretty realistic, I start having serious doubts. All in all, the personality of Marcus Aurelius was pretty much perfect, him being good or bad-looking would not really change the fact of what an amazing human being the emperor was.
dude that was great
muy bueno , es verlos vueltos a la vida .....

The production of Gladiator probably began more than 25 years ago. All this technology used to reconstruct with accuracy is less than 10 years old. It was good for what was known at the time.
Hello, Thank you for a magnificent and informative video. Marcus looks intellectual, wise and thoughtful and quietly. Lucius appears more fiery, alpha, gung-ho, dangerous and gorgeous. Poor beautiful boy who died at just 7 years of age. And Commodus, who seems to have thought he was a god, who obviously upset other powers who strangled him. Dangerous and Machiavellian times. Xxx❣👏
What a treat! Thank you!
Love Marcus Aurelius’s eyes!
You did a video a few months back. Man.... I wont say the name. But when the real face was revealed. I cant explain the vibes I got from seeing my face !!!! I know I had a past life. And Im not saying that thus was me. Because I know people resemble others. But man..... Do you guys feel me here ?!?! Peace
Very nice looking. Looks like a guy I work with except hes growing his hair long
what music is used here??

It is certainly a trap of history is that such an enlightened emperor produced a son whose deeds are considered as among the most harmful in the empire’s history!!
Annius looks like Will Byers from Stranger Things.
