Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir. Gaius, shown full-length from head to feet, standing upright — a provincial Roman bronze caster in his late forties, figure centered in a dim workshop on the Empire's frontier, forge-glow filling the sides. Weathered olive-toned Mediterranean skin, deep-lined sun-baked face, strong nose, close-cropped greying black hair and a short grizzled beard. Stocky, thick-forearmed muscular build hardened by labour. He wears a soot-stained knee-length undyed wool tunic belted with a worn leather strap, a scorched leather apron over it, and a coarse cloak slung on one shoulder. Forearms bear small burn scars; hands are calloused, one gripping bronze casting tongs, the other holding a rough clay mould. Leather-strap sandals with hobnailed soles on dusty stone. Serious, appraising expression, brow furrowed, half his face caught in warm single-source firelight, the rest in deep shadow. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style.
