Well, they're not Greek... They're Roman.

The guy with his armed raised is Augustus, I think... the building is the Colosseum... the room is... I can't remember... I think it is a room from Pompeii. The giant head is Constantine...

...but yeah, the room and the statue of the guy holding a head, I'm not sure on those two.

The room is in Pompei ,in the house of the Vettii.
The fresco on the left is -vettii20.jpg- in one of the best sites for Pompei
