The National Museum of Antiquities in the Netherlands unveiled the new bust Friday, giving viewers a fascinating image of what Caesar would have looked like in real life — complete with a huge bump covering part of his head. link |

Many babies born through a Caesarian procedure have the cranium so temporarily and even permanently distorted. It is idle speculation to presume such in JC's case but I offer to the general readership for their titallation. |

Actually normal birth would cause some head distortion that is necessary for the baby to go through the birth canal. Caesarian section eliminates that AFAIK but the OB/GYN wasn't my strong suit in nursing school. |

Caesar wasn't born by Caesarean. If there is a link between the names then it is the family named after the procedure, (as suggested by Pliny) not vice versa. |

There are several differing statues of GJC. I don't think the others have the head shape, and they don't explain why or how they chose this one as the most accurate of all. Doesn't pass the smell test, IMHO. |
