Avete omnes,
as a modell enthusiast I just want to revive the aspect of modelling that IMHO comes somewhat too briefly in this Historical Gaming & Modelling forum (although I am also a great fan of 'Praetorians').
Some of the pictures may be a little large, for this I already apologize in advance. The diorama consists of 25 soldiers in the size of 54 mm (1 : 32) that are mostly converted or totally scratched, therefore I used tin soldiers or such of plastic and a lot of milliput ...

Represented is a scene of the battle of Manduessedum, assumed to be today's Mancetter o'War in the midlands, when in 61 CE a Roman army, consisting essentially from parts of legiones XIV Gemina and XX Valeria as well as auxiliary contingents, all in all perhaps 12,000 - 15,000 men, under the governor Gaius Suetonius Paullinus remained victorious against a coalition of revolting British tribes, lead by the queen of the Icenians, Boudicca (Boadicea), allegedly approximately 100,000 warriors.
Shown is the turning point of the battle. The exhausted legionaries and auxiliaries have repelled some attack waves of the Brittones, a Tribune raises a conquered Gaul field ensign, while in the background Paullinus gives the instruction to the auxiliary cavalry to pursue the beaten enemy - "Debellate Superbos - strike the rebells".

Some may recognize the similarity with Angus McBride's painting in Concord's "Imperial Rome at war (plate 19)" - it served me as a pattern.
