4. Laocoon Group, in palace of Titus,
Rome
in Roman times?, in Greek Baroque Style:
Is this an original Tiberian sculpture in Greek
Baroque style by Hagesandros, Polydoros and Athenodoros? Is this
a Roman copy of a Greek Baroque sculpture? Or is it a Hellenistic
original? Or is it a forgery by Michelangelo?
Same sculptors' names appear on boat of Scylla
Group from grotto/dining room of Tiberius, Sperlonga.

8. Commodus as Hercules from Rome (also
see topic 12 below):
How should we understand this characterization
in terms of its impact on the Roman viewer? Was the Roman viewer
likely to have felt entirely positive about this type of heroic
representation,
with possible connotations of deification, of the arrogant emperor?
