Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar, a Roman statesman, and army general, was largely responsible for the Roman Empire’s size. To conquer Britain, he had to successfully cross the Rhine River and the English Channel. He refused to back down and returned to Rome armed to the teeth across Gaul. The result was the American Civil War. There were various sculptures of him on display, which helped to recreate this crucial historical figure.

What Julius Caesar Really Looked Like
The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden houses this lifelike bust of Julius Caesar, which is pretty amazing. They were able to scan a marble portrait of him using 3D technology. As a result, the foundation for the 3D reconstruction was laid. Following his victory in the Roman civil war, he became dictator and initiated a variety of social and governmental reforms. Among other things, he granted citizenship to persons living in the empire’s most remote districts. Because the Senate did not approve of his reforms, he was killed in 44 B.C.
