The only physical description of Jesus that does exist is from a copy of a letter from the Roman consul Lentulus to the Roman Emperor Tiberius, discovered in a Monastery with copies of other ancient documents. According to the copy, the original letter dated to the 12th year of the reign of the Roman emperor Tiberius. We have historical verification that a Roman consul named Lentulus was in Judea at the time of Jesus' trial and crucifixion. His influential family is mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus in his book Antiquities of the Jews, 14.10.13. However, scholars cannot agree as to the authenticity of the letter.
Lentulus' letter was an official report to Emperor Tiberius. He describes Jesus as having: "… a noble and lively face, with fair and slightly wavy hair; black and strongly curving eyebrows; intense penetrating blue eyes and an expression of wondrous grace. His nose is rather long. His beard is almost blonde, although not very long. His hair is quite long, and has never seen a pair of scissors […]. His neck is slightly inclined, so that he never appears to be bitter or arrogant. His tanned face is the color of ripe corn and well proportioned. It gives the impression of gravity and wisdom, sweetness and good, and is completely lacking in any sign of anger." (Holy Land Magazine, Franciscan Holy Land Press, Spring 1998).
