And looks like it. If you believe that that bust looks feminine, you have cognitive problems.

Probably because they ate better. Eating offal of grass-fed beef was common back then.
Honestly, having good looks is mostly based on the jawline, no joke.

All that survives is artistic interpretations and commissions. Why would anyone want to be depicted as ugly? The ancient greeks sought a sort of realism, but it fell out of favor.
Jayden Russell
The greeks tended to idealize their subjects. You can count on their portraits having very regular physionomies and unblemished skin.
On the other hand we have the romans, who swore by absolute realism (aside from public statues): you'll see plenty of ugly mugs in their sculpture.

>yfw they were so obsessed with realism they even depicted Sulla in every single bust with his mouth open because he was a literal mouthbreather
Roman portraiture is literal autism during the republic.

Sculptures of Antinous became widespread, with Hadrian probably having approved a basic model of Antinous' likeness for other sculptors to follow.[53][74] These sculptures were produced in large quantities between 130 and 138,
Although the adoption of the Antinous cult was in some cases done to please Hadrian, the evidence makes it clear that the cult was also genuinely popular among the different societal classes in the Empire.[69] Part of the appeal was that Antinous had once been human himself, and thus was more relatable than many other deities.

Natural selection. The sculptors that made ugly faces mysteriously died off.
Jackson Butler

Angel Clark
So what you're telling us is...Antinous was the first waifu (or husbando)...
