Much “artistic license” here imo.

Nero was a redhead?

What were the genetics of Romans before various invasions of Germanic tribes, Muslims, Byzantines, etc…?

Uh oh, no People of Color or Women?

Time to tear down any references to the Roman Empire.

First up, demolish Caesars Palace.

Roman coins, especially in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. had very realistic portraits of the emperors. Some of the best come from Nero’s reign. He liked to think of himself as artistic and his coins tend to be almost cruelly realistic. He put on some weight during his reign.

As time moved on, Roman coin art became much more stylized, each emperor looking pretty much the same by the 4th century.

And, they called Gaius “Caligula”. ;^) Interesting project, Sez here there were about 70 Roman emperors from 27 BC to 476 AD. [wiki-wacky] Neat idea. Not much to go on for any of them, because there are literally no known remains of any of them (lots of cremations, a few thrown into the Tiber, that kind of thing). Sidebar, the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome was actually the Mausoleum of Hadrian.

Julius's image isn't shown, since everyone knows he looked just like Paul Newman on the label of his eponymous Caesar salad dressing.
