[GeistFaust]

Dinarid predominantly with additional Cro-Magnon influences possible.

[Rereg]

Looks like haired Ushtari's uncle.

[Sikeliot]

The ancient Roman look appears to be heavily Dinarid influenced.

[aherne]

Excellent portraiture. Looks CroMagnid-derived.

[Gospodine]

A rich fool. Ran right into the ambush at Carrhae. One of Rome's worst losses.

Dinaro-CM.

[Zmey Gorynych]

pred CM with strong Dinarid influence, this combo (Dinarid/CM, CM/Dinarid) seems to have been quite frequent among ancient romans (or at least their busts) :)

[Osprey]

There were three main branches of the house of Licinia Crassi in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE,[3] and many mistakes in identifications and lines have arisen owing to the uniformity of Roman nomenclature, erroneous modern suppositions, and the unevenness of information across the generations. In addition the Dives cognomen of the Crassi Divites means rich or wealthy, and since Marcus Crassus the subject here was renowned for his enormous wealth this has contributed to hasty assumptions that his family belonged to the Divites. But no ancient source accords him or his father the Dives cognomen, while we are explicitly informed that his great wealth was acquired rather than inherited, and that he was raised in modest circumstances.[4]

Crassus' homonymous grandfather, M. Licinius Crassus (praetor c.126 BCE), was facetiously given the Greek nickname Agelastus (the grim) by his contemporary Gaius Lucilius, the famous inventor of Roman satire, who asserted that he smiled once in his whole life. This grandfather was son of P. Licinius Crassus (consul 171 BCE). The latter's brother C. Licinius Crassus (consul 168 BCE) produced the third line of Licinia Crassi of the period, the most famous of whom was L. Licinius Crassus the orator (consul 95 BCE), the greatest Roman orator before Cicero and the latter's childhood hero and model. Marcus Crassus was also a talented orator and one of the most energetic and active advocates of his time.

Judging by their skulls would they be CM + Med/Nord?


I dont know why but the first bust of Crassus gives my a vibe of a German.

[Smeagol]

Dinaric + CM.

[Ianus]

Dinaroid

[aherne]

Looks Italic (no surprise). Aryan predominates.
