Césares de Roma is a project to make hyperrealist sculptures of Roman emperors using existing portraits and sculptures as references. The latest creation is a silicone bust of Nerón Claudio César Augusto Germanicus, aka Nero, who wreaked havoc from 54 to 68 AD.

Working from remains discovered during archaeological excavations, sculptor and archaeologist Oscar Nilsson combines his 2 disciplines to reconstruct the faces of people who lived 100s, 1000s, and even 10Ks of years ago. This Neanderthal woman lived 50 ka ago:
Researchers have reconstructed the torso of a woman of the Únětice culture whose remains were unearthed in a Bronze Age cemetery in eastern Bohemia. She had been buried sometime between 3880 and 3750 BP with 5 bronze bracelets, 2 gold earrings, a 3-strand necklace made of beads of amber imported from the Baltic, and 3 bronze sewing needles.
