It is true that at a first look busts could give the impression that you are in face of a light pigmented person. One cannot deny that there were light pigmented influent people in ancient Rome, that many of the caesars were light pigmented but that does not imply the conclusions that nordicists take from that; there are evidences (contemporary writen depictions as well as portraits) that influent people like Isaak Newton and henry Bessemer were brown eyed, that Capitain James Cook and Alexander Graham Bell were both dark eyed & dark haired but none would never ever be as stupid as concluding that it is evidence that the British isles were once dominated by a "meddish" elite!
