It was at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, brought by the Louvre.It was pretty amazing.
I thought the bust of Octavian was pretty cool because it looked a lot like the (later) Augustus on the series Rome. I like the earlier stuff better (before julius caeser until after augustus) but they (understandably) had much more stuff that was after that--which I haven't read much about yet, so it wasn't quite as as awesome for me. Pretty remarkable to see how realistic those things were considering that they had to chisel it in freakin marble.
err...any questions?
