They are indeed very good, I love all the statues of Alexander , I think they seem to capture/create a realistic image of him , and have a interesting tone to them.

Some of those sculptures are rather sylised.....the ones from Museo Barracco (I think) remind me of some of Hera....!
I now tend to take the 'plainer' ones as more factual of his looks, or at least as he got older (he would have 'weathered' and 'hardened' quite a bit by 30) as in the possible Lysippos copy - Azara Herme from Paris.
The Roma Capatolino ones are also nice and obviously from the same period as the Pompeii Mosaic.....he has sideburns....lol

Thanks isela - those were great. You're right, doesn't matter if the words are in Spanish - I got the meaning just the same.

I recently ran across this site

http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/ImagesofAlexander/

haha - hope that works!

I thought it was funny because there is a group of pictures on this site with people posing by Alexander statues - reminded me of our group!! I think at one point some of the people are called Alexander groupies! Laughing

No, that couldn't be us.

Also, I know quite a while back Alexandros_20 was looking for a map from the time; there's a whole section with maps.

True, it's funny to see those people posing with Alexander. I guess we would do just about the same.
Some days ago I was in the Prado Museum, here in Madrid, and I saw the "Portrait of a Diadoch". I couldn't resist it, so I touched the face of this diadoch (I looked before to see that no guard of the museum was looking at me Laughing

).
I had found some other maps some time ago and I forgot to tell you, but thanks for the information. These maps seem to be very well done.

Thank you for sites Isela. Statues are just beautiful. Only I can't help but noticing that only few of them are in Greece now.
