I don't know who the artist is. The armour is Roman.

It's a nice pic. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised if the armour is Roman - just think of all those Renaissance paintings of Alexander where the armour isn't even *properly* Roman, but a mash-up of what 15th century painters *thought* was Roman!

Yes, I think you are right that this is AI generated. Type in yearning look, tousled hair, big nose, deep-set eyes, armour. They missed the parted lips though. All the same, it's not a bad result, though perhaps a little too 'American collegiate'.

Maybe AI didn't know the difference between Greek and Roman armour!

I think that's a very safe bet!
