Narukami,
thanks, again
Octavianus,
there are some commercial figures, but no one of them remained in its original shape, I used figures from Andrea, New Hope, Airfix and others, all were converted.
For example the tribune in the foreground left has the body of Andrea's 'Centurio in Battle' and got new arms and a new head and received some Milliput, only the parts in yellow are original.

Another example is the legatus on his rising horse. Originally it was a rather cheap figure from a Belgian Coffee company (I am not sure, I bought it on a figure fair), looking like this:

It consisted of Grey hard plastic that was easy to convert and again with some Milliput I could change it into the figure I needed for my diorama. The rising horse is from Airfix and belonged originally to a French Napoleonic cuirassier (also a cheap solution, compared with tin horses).
