## Image Caption

A photorealistic representation of what the [Roman emperor](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Emperor/) Herennius Etruscus (r. 251 CE) may have looked like. Based on contemporary and near contemporary descriptions, as well as artworks believed to depict Herennius and his relatives. Pictured alongside the reconstruction are the portraits used as references, including a possible bust of Herennius Etruscus (top right), a definite [coin](https://www.worldhistory.org/coinage/) portrait of Herennius Etruscus (bottom right), a suspected bust of his mother Herennia Etrsucilla (top left), a bust of his father [Decius](https://www.worldhistory.org/Decius/) (bottom left).
