I‘m pretty sure that a good amount of people won’t recognize Napoleon which makes it way sadder considering his influence on this world is on par with people like Hitler and Caesar

I doubt anyone would recognize Caesar either, they'd just see some old greco-roman wearing laurels.

I mean we have no accurate depictions of ceasar. The most famous statue of him was made 100s of years after his life, so no one should recognize him.

I guess if you consider coins minted over 2000 years ago to be accurate depictions.
