What does veristic portrait style refer to in roman art

Verism was described as "warts and all" it pretty much shows the imperfections of the person. For example it'll have, warts, wrinkles, and furrows. Although  It should be noted that the word veristic is in no way implying that the art works are more "real." It can also be over exaggerated. 

Because it is an outlet. most people are very shut off so they will write poetry to.. almost rant. sometimes people can’t say their feelings out loud so they make it into an art form that is poetry, and write it down.
