Classify and Place Roman Empress Valeria Mesalina

[alnortedelsur]

She was the second cousin of the Roman emperor Caligula and the third wife of the Roman Emperor Claudio. She was infamous for her promiscuity.

Please classify her, and where do you think she could pass (if she lived today), including Europe, Asia, North and South America?:

I like brachy women, hehehe

Do you think she could have passed as Greek?

[Smeagol]

Alpine. Pan-European.

[JMack]

Alpine-Med.

Passes everywhere this phenotype exists. Basically Southern Europe and places with Southern European populations.

Their family drama was something that would be hard (disgusting) to recreate in a modern day drama today.

That said Romans tended to be less into the idealized representations and more interested in realistic representations based on Italic traditions.

I think she can pass anywhere in Europe to be honest. Every time I see a Roman Empress I just automatically think of Sardinian women though, idk why.

In my previous reply she seems just a bit more long headed but I think it's the fat neck that's playing tricks on me lol

I don't know why but in this pic I just automatically thought 'Iberian' :lol:

[Zroota]

Her pigmentation, eye and hair color really matter though.

[alnortedelsur]

I don't know why but in this pic I just automatically thought 'Iberian' :lol:

I think she could pass as Spanish, but I notice some Italian vibe in there. Like current Italians.

Do you think she could pass as white Brazilian, if she lived today?

Their family drama was something that would be hard (disgusting) to recreate in a modern day drama today.

It was depicted very well in I, Claudius (1976).

probably Alpine and Med, yes. I doubt her nose was as straight as it is depicted on that bust.
