Actual living human examples of the "Classical" phenotype?

He's got a huge indentation at the root, so I don't think so. Is he only half Italian? That's decidedly not a typical Italian profile, particularly not that chin

Javier Bardem?

You are right about Tarantino, Bardem a little bit. Auteuil is to old in that Picture, Caligula didn’t get the chance to develop a Real grown up seasoned Face.

Caligula was in his 20s, I think.

Came across this : Cypriot soldiers

The rightmost guy, he might have it.

Monica Vitti, although I couldn't find profile pictures of her. I don't think there's any indent at all. This is how she looks in my mind's eye, because I only know her from her films:

Given her pale, freckled skin and the grey eyes, I understand why they bleached her hair. She may be one of the few women whom I think looks better "altered" than with her natural hair color. Maybe it softened her strong bone structure?

In the above she looks a bit like an Etruscan statue, although whether the subject was Etruscan, Roman, or a mix I don't know.

This model has a classical look

I was watching the recent movie "Call me by your name" (excellent romantic story-telling, unless you are a homophobe, lol) and the main character, the boy (performed by Thimothée Chalamet), struck me as quite "classical" in his looks (kind of a young Apollo, lol). Coincidentally, the movie is full of ancient classical statues here and there as an underlying theme.

I present to you the ultimate form of the classical type :grin: a random Saudi guy.

his receding chin disqualify him vigorously, but his nose passes the classical test.

We are doomed to disagree. To me it looks as if his nose slants upwards, although perhaps it's the picture? How a Saudi Arab got an upturned nose is a whole other issue.

@Ygorcs,
Thimothe Chalomet is indeed pretty close overall.

Princess Diana was pretty close to having the nose, I think, but for that slight bump. It's more of a Roman nose, I guess? The mouth is too big and the eyes are off too, however.

Greek girl from Ipati:

I thought she would have it, but once you see her profile picture, definitely not. You really can't judge from a front shot. In profile she has a definite sort of Levantine droop to her nose. They would have hated her mouth, of course. How styles have changed. Is she half Cypriot?

 

[Angela]

Rossano Brazzi is close to having the nose, but he is completely and utterly and only Italian looking to me, a slightly different type.

Girl watching as an art, from the classic movie "Summertime", with Katherine Hepburn:

Antonio Cupo...I can't even go there...I don't even have words! I can't find a profile picture of him to make sure about the nose, however.

As, if not more beautiful than Antinous:

I just saw him in a tv series, and his nose is pretty much parallel to his forehead. He looks a lot like those Greek statues of warriors.

Dominic Fumusa:

He also played Tyg in the 13 Hours in Benghazi movie: very imposing guy physically.

Paul Newman is the definition of a Greek god.
His face was compared with Apollo's.
