Do any famous Roman death masks remain?
AI RESPONSE
No known authentic Roman death masks remain today. The practice of creating death masks was common in ancient Rome, particularly among the patrician class, who used wax masks (imagines) to honor their ancestors. These masks were often displayed in the atrium of a Roman home and used in funeral processions.
However, due to the perishable nature of wax, none of these original masks have survived to the present day.
