Why was everyone in *Civilisations: Rise and Fall* dressed like they were in a 1950s Hollywood epic?
Stilicho looked like Richard Burton in *The Robe* with muscled cuirass and pointless wrist guards rather than in long sleeved tunic and big chonky brooch
Who was the historical advisor on this? 😱😱

✨Augustus in colour✨
The Prima Porta Augustus is one of the most famous sculptures of ancient Rome. Earlier depictions of the sculpture noted the remnants of colour but the craze for cleaned statuary meant much detail was lost to the casual gaze.
