the entrance of a building. Almost 2000 years after it was built, its dome is still the world’s largest

Roman Busts

Ancient roman created remarkably realistic portrait sculptures or

buts.

glimpse into their personalities.

Look at to this buts the buts of Euripides 330 BC in Pio Clementino Museum, Vatican.
