[/QUOTE]that "wilder hair" thing was completely ridiculous, you can't be serious. have you turned into one of the curly hair = black theorists now, Mike and Iron finally got to you?

Even as heavily philhellenic as Juba II was it was no accident he chose a crocodile and an elephant, animals symbolic of Africa for the reverse side of his coins.

Despite the damage it has incurred, the features of this tired face are recognizable as those of Juba II at the age of about sixty. When the head was discovered it was immediately identified as such; this suggestion was confirmed after comparison with effigies on coins and other portraits of the prince, whose strong features, wide-set eyes, and [URL=http://www.]thick hair[/URL] are clearly recognizable. Hellenistic art The classical culture of King Juba II is apparent in this portrait of the philhellenic king, which portrays him like a Hellenistic sovereign: beardless, short-haired, and wearing a royal headband.
