    The sculptor was following a Roman tradition at the time to portray emperors as other-worldly, almost godlike beings. He makes his eyes very large and his face stoic to convey that he his someone not quite human like the rest of us, and perhaps he is above the fleeting emotions that govern the rest of mankind.
