A photorealistic representation of what the [Roman emperor](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Emperor/) [Domitian](https://www.worldhistory.org/domitian/) (r. 81-96 CE) may have looked like. Pictured alongside the reconstruction are the artworks and statuary used as references. From left to right and top to bottom, these are the Vatican bust; Altes Museum Berlin bust; National Archaeological Museum of Venice bust; and the Louvre bust. Based on contemporary and near contemporary descriptions, as well as archaeological evidence. Made using Photoshop and Artbreeder, a neural net tool.
