7 historical heroes, what they would be today

Julius Caesar

After thousands of years, the imperiousness is still visible in the gaze of the modern Caesar. It's hard to argue with such a person. Although to me personally, he looks more like some kind of trendy tech billionaire.

Catherine of Aragon

This portrait of Catherine of Aragon is the daughter of Ferdinand, the founder of Spain as a state. Externally, as you can see, Catherine is not at all like those whom we consider typical Spaniards. Her hair was golden in color.

Caligula

Caligula was the youngest son of the famous commander Germanicus. While the older brothers were destroying each other in the struggle for power, Caligula grew up and ascended to the throne.

But he did not use his power very wisely. He spent the treasury on strange pretentious performances and entertainment. He was remembered by his contemporaries as a cruel and voluptuous tyrant-madman.
As a result, in the course of a palace coup, Caligula was overthrown after less than four years of rule.

Napoleon

A typical middle-class official. With ambitions and a desire to get more into these hands. Just like the brave Corporal Napoleon, who years later will keep half the world at bay.

Octavian Augustus

Octavian Augustus is the founder of the Roman Empire. At the time of the birth of Jesus Christ, it was he who ruled Rome, although he passed away when Christ turned 14.

To me, it really reminds me of Elijah Wood, the actor who played Frodo in The Lord of the Rings.

Octavian reduced the role of the senate as much as possible and gave birth to the cult of the emperor. A very clever ruler, patron of the arts.

Cleopatra

A rather unexpected image turned out, which is somewhat different from the modern cultural one. Apparently in the movies they try to bet on sexuality and temperament, but here is quite a modest girl.

Nefertiti

And finally, another Egyptian beauty - Nefertiti. The girl was born in 1370 BC, during the heyday of ancient Egypt. But Nefertiti herself is a visiting princess.

Her appearance was considered the standard of female beauty. But the girl was also very reasonable. She helped her husband in his endeavors. And her husband, Akhenaten, is a progressive ruler of his time. He created, in fact, the world's first monotheistic religion. When they believe in one god (such religions include, in particular, Christianity and Islam).

At some point Nefertiti mysteriously disappeared from history. But many scientists believe that Nefertiti then ruled under the guise of a female pharaoh Nefernefruaton.
