Iconic: Roman Skin Discoloration

Roman Skin Discoloration
Nov 2016


It looks like blood and too, but the fact is that the complexion of ancient Romans, as it is today, discolored from the abuse of extreme wines and drugs...the fact that they drank raw blood from both humans and animals didn't help matters.

Everything in ancient Rome was stained with blood in some way. Written parchment, clothing, paintings, etc. were for the most part tinted through the use of human and animal internal organs and raw blood.
