Challenging Historical Classfication

[Libertas]

Please classify this enlarged coin portrait of Titus Quinctius Flamininus who defeated the Macedonians in the early 2nd century BC and began the Roman conquest of Greece.

I see something Dinaric here.

Tough to say, and this is why I think these models are not reliable for accurate classifications, but I would say he looks predominantly Dinarid.

From Kacca's pic looks combination of Greek and Roman

I agree.

These ancient depictions on coins and busts are very frustrating as they differ so much even for a single individual eg Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius etc.

Even modern photos do not always give a faithful representation of the living person concerned.
