abou: many roman statues were copies of hellenistic and classical sculpture. For example the statue of Augustus in Prima Porta adapted from the classical bronze statue Doryphoros, to carry Augustus message of a new age with him as Princeps. But also the romans had their own, and they adapted their own styles. Usually this was part of imperial propaganda, were Augustus is portrayed as muscular, compared to how he probably realy was; skinny. Also the romans compared to the greek helenistic statues specially during republican times, tried to portray people realistic; old people with wrencles.
And to eat bread, you need corn. The legionaries carried corn, not bread.
