ASCLEPIADES Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Nope! As it's late I'll give you a big clue (then I have to log out and go to bed!) : Where Cato was ascetic, this one is aesthetic. MT Cicero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASCLEPIADES Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 My God! It's Karl Malden! Â Wow! Good selection, GM. Â We have to admit that the mutual resemblance is remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladict Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 OK - it's an easy one. But bear with me - Maladict will know from bitter experience how useless I am at uploading things without giving it away! I hope I've got it right this time.  Looks like you've gained some serious picture hosting skills  Don't have a clue about the picture, though it looks familiar. It's one of them early Roman folks.

The Augusta Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Maladict - as always, you are a gentleman, sir!  I can't believe this bust is giving you so much trouble - I thought it would be quite easy. Hehe - and if you all knew how hilarious the comparison is with Karl Malden...... I think my sculpted gentleman will be jumping out of his urn to be compared to such a rough person  Right - another clue: he fell from grace following a conspiracy.

Nephele Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Right - another clue: he fell from grace following a conspiracy. Â Lucius Sergius Catilina? Â -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Right - another clue: he fell from grace following a conspiracy. Hmmmm ... involved in a conspiracy but only fell from grace? Not executed? Putting my limited logical and intellectual skills to work, I think that would most likely place him in the Republic, as opposed to the Empire. Â I'm going to go with everyone's favorite feces-wearing Consul ... Â Edited September 21, 2007 by G-Manicus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Ratus Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I was going to guess Cataline, but since Nephele beat me to it... Â My second guess would have been Clodius Pulcher, but he didn't fall in a conspiracy. Â Milo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'd like to buy an "M" please ... Â Â (God, I'm an idiot. "The" was right ... should have gotten it much sooner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaius Octavius Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Caracala? No! Hadrian! Â Edited September 21, 2007 by Gaius Octavius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Caracala? No! Hadrian! Â Both are .... ENNNNNH! Wrong. Â Judging by other sculptures I've seen of this guy, he was having a real bad hair day when he posed for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
