Hi,
I haven't sculpted a Roman military hero yet. I have sculpted Leonidas and Alexander twice each.
I need some inspiration. I am thinking that Scipio Africanus would be interesting, but I would love your opinions. Who do you think would make a good subject and why?
Maybe you could suggest a particular event to put the work in context: maybe Julius Caesar and Vercinggetorix?
I could also use feedback as it progresses. Many of you have vast amounts of historical knowledge stashed away. I'd appreciate help with the weaponry and armor. It could be a fun exercise. :-D
Thanks! DiAnne
This is a Roman helmet I created a few years ago....only Roman work I've done. It is a wearable art piece, so it is not historically accurate. My inspiration was Roman occupied Egypt.
