And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Head of Poseidon / Antigonos Doson, 227-221 BC. bronze. Greek, 3rd century BC. Identified as Antigonos Doson. 263-221 BC. King of Macedon.
Imagine that with the eye inserts. Incredible artistic skill in bronze.
The artisanship and vision to do this sort of work in bronze can not be equalled given the equipment they had. Even all things being equal, I can't see it being possible today.
