I think that Mike Pompeo also looks quite Roman (a resemblance with Cicero). He is only half Italian on his father side (from Abruzzo).
There was some diversity of phenotypes among ancient Romans. Several nobles from the Late Republic or Early Empire have a distinctive type with a slightly triangular face and big eyes that is not common anywhere today, like these.
Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger
Emperor Augustus
Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus
Emperor Tiberius
Emperor Caligula
Emperor Claudius
Unknown bust
This type contrasts a lot with other Romans of the same period like Sulla, Pompey, Cicero, Seneca, Mark Antony, Agrippa, etc.

I'm posting this here even though its in another thread because its hilarious. These reconstructions should not be taken
serious yet in my opinion..
Caligula
Two singers in folk music group I Girasoli, especially the guy to the left:
A waiter from my mother's home town, not related to the singers.
Except for the ears I fail to see the resemblance.
Really? I'm surprised. I see the same triangular face shape, the very broad skull, the pointed chin, the thin lipped small mouth. The nose is different. I guess I should have posted better pictures.
Also, we're not going to get clones, but I thought it was the same general type.
He looks like a space vampireThe quality of the reconstruction is good (hair, skin) but i don't understand why they did that extraterrestrial head and the eyes are too close to each others.

I saw these pictures of an Italian girl (Caterina Ravaglia)in IronSide's ultimate classification thread and was amazed by how her similar she looks to the Julio-Claudian. That's exactly the same type. She was born in Ravenna and her surname is typical of Emilia-Romagna. I think that may be how the original Italic tribes looked at the time of the Roman Republic.
