And he reminds me of a little boy at the church I go to. He could almost be his twin.

Not favourably intelligent or disposed from the majority of any populace, however, he was benevolent - at least in his youth and innocence.
Not a boy suited to the military or any violent affair, but one who would be intrigued enough by his surroundings to wish for their improvement - a senator, a politician or a speaker - nobility were often one of these two in most cases of antiquity.
There is certainly no great ambition in his mind at this age.. his name?

Reminds me of my exam which is tomorrow. The book I have to read for it has that picture. I hate history from about 50 BCE onwards.
