Just like we talked about in class.  These statues look right through you.  This creates such an air of importance.. almost divinity.  What I really like about Roman sculpture is that you can totally tell the subjects of each sculpture from each other.  Even when Romans start adopting a bit of idealism into their sculptures at the cost of hyperrealistic details, I could still tell this sculpture of Augustus easily apart from one of Julius, and Pompey even more so.
