The eyes of Constantine the Great and the eyes of classical Greek sculptures differ in a few key ways. Firstly the eyes of Constantine the Great are more realistic and less idealized than those of classical Greek sculptures. Whereas classical Greek sculptures tend to depict the eyes in a fixed unemotional state typically with no iris and no visible pupil the eyes of Constantine the Great are more realistic; they portray the eyes with visible iris and pupil and are often shown in an emotional state conveying an expression of power. Secondly the eyes of Constantine the Great often have a unique almond shape which is a result of the Eastern-influenced style of sculpture popular during his reign whereas classical Greek sculptures tend to depict the eyes with a more rounded shape. Lastly the eyes of Constantine the Great often have a distant or meditative expression whereas classical Greek sculptures tend to portray the eyes with a more focused determined expression.
