They painted them and the whole statue. Historical reports show them ans being colorful and lifelike.

:’) You’re welcome. As emperors go, Hadrian isn’t a big favorite of mine.

No wonder he like Greece so well
He would have liked living this lifestyle just about everywhere.... same sex relations were still common and accepted in this era everywhere...just a few years later though those kind of sexual relations were no longer tolerated in the increasingly Christian dominated world

As emperors go, Hadrian isnt a big favorite of mine. I always thought he was one of the top 10 Emperors, maybe even in the top 5. He is one of the 5 'Good Emperors' of the Silver Age of Rome (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pis, and Marcus Aurelius)! This was by far the longest period of stable, prosperous, and less tyranical government in the history of the Empire.

Very, very beautiful statue with incredible detail.
