2 History as the Cure for Sick Minds “The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find..both examples and warnings” (Livy 1.1)

Struck Head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / BASILEWS LUSIMACOU, Athena seated left, holding Nike in her extended right hand, left arm leaning on her shield; lion head left above elephant left in inner left field; QE monogram on throne.

12 Sculpture Head of Alexander the Great. The Macedonian king is represented as a youth with luxuriantly wavy locks which rise upward from above the middle of his forehead like a lion's mane, a characteristic known from all Alexander portraits. Probably an original work of the sculpture, Leochares, carved around 330 BCE. (Acropolis Museum, Athens)

13 Pompey as Hair Apparent Pompey as Hair Apparent Pompey, ca. 50 B.C. (marble)

14 The Hair, the Hair… Portraits of Augustus served as symbols of his political agenda rather than corresponding to his physical features as described in written sources. Augustus is always shown in an ideal, classicizing style, and he never ages over the length of his reign. One constant feature of Augustus's portraits is his hairstyle, with its distinctive forked locks of hair on his forehead. This portrait was carved about the middle of the first century A.D., after Augustus' death in A.D. 14. (Getty Museum)
