Beautiful, but... where do you plan to attach your umbo? :-(

Because I'm world's greatest detective(right after Batman),I predict that the shield may bear the inscription Placidi Valentinianici or something like that.This figure is generally well shaped,only Valentinian looks possibly too much soldier-like if one takes into consideration he was typical court Emperor who never actually seen real action.On the other hand this should be an army propaganda,So it does not necessarily reflect a real person.

Robert:This is one of those occasions where artistic license fights with a stark reality .

Lots of Baldenheimst, I like it.

Great !...only...what is Baldenheimst?I don't know that expression :unsure: .

Yeah, I based it off of a coin and the Valentinianenses Felices Shield pattern. I tried to make him look like a teenager, like he was for much of his reign. The propaganda does also take part, I was gonna put a depiction of Aetius on the back for sort of a "Power Behind the Throne" symbolism.

Yes I will write Placidi Valentiniani on the front. The pattern is supposed to be highly customizable. You could obviously change things or add things on here.

At Robert: The Boss will go in the center, where its supposed to. I drew the image and put a circle around it.

Lazic war "Poster".
For the time being,It's only photographed,so not too good pictorial quality,I will scanned it later...and also do small backlog that I missed.

Cool! I should have one I drew of my soon-to-be (and by soon I mean about a year) Late Roman impression up tomorrow or monday.

[Longovicium]

Great work there. I love the intensity in the faces and the way you combine that historical backdrop. It resembles a book cover or movie poster. Fantastic work!

[AMELIANVS]

Thanks fellows mile:

And now something completely different I have to share-Peter Dennis fantastic painting of the battle of Beth Heron(probably).

Pavel, thanks for showing the Beth Horon image. As that incident underpins my current Trilogy (The Janus Eagle), it was good to see this morning over coffee!

[AMELIANVS]

John :Cleo looks pretty hot :evil:

Francis:glad to be of assistance to a morning coffee :grin:

[AMELIANVS]

Just better,improved version of what you had already saw,and maybe I should also note depicted faces are meant to be those of Justinian I and Khosrau I:

Oldies but goldies?when I made ​​the order at home I came across my very first and old(well,not so old,I made it some 10-7 years back) attempts in historical illistration,which I did mostly by copying the work of my heroes so "similarity" is not accidental :wink: ...who will find 5 differences? :grin:
