Ah, looks great!
I'm just curious about the sqamata arm-openings - they seem to tight to be realistic?
Other opinions?

I'm curious to know why there is an Auxiliary cavalry H helmet with a face mask. :?
Great artistic talent though. :wink:

I thought maybe he was one of the undead?

Hello
Thanks for all the artistic and historical comments.
This is meant to represent a circa 275 AD Clibanarius, but I must admit that I have some doubts about the historicall accuracy of it.
The face mask was applied because of a description relating this tipe of helm with it.
Can anyone point out historically valid aspects to improve the illustration?
Thanks again to all
Bestr regards

Hello Vieira, great work, I like it!
What about adding a four-horned saddle (like the guy has on the photo)? If I were riding I horse without stirrups, I definitely would like to have one! :wink:

Hello
I decided to alter the illustration by removing the face mask.

I appreciate if someone else could point out other historical mistakes.
