The Ides of July

Some work in progress on the Strelets Roman Senate I set.

Those sandals are driving me crazy.

I Am Spartacus

The revolt of Spartacus and his gladiator army was probably also a revolt of slaves, poor farmers and non-Roman Italians who were fed up with second class status (according to Mary Beard's excellent SPQR which I am currently reading.)

These pictures are of the Linear-B Spartacus Uprising set and the Spartacus Defeat set.

They also make use of the Airfix landing strip as a base.

The Roman Slave Market

Strelets Roman Transport 3.

In the dusty streets of Rome the captured Gauls finally halt. Dragged through the city in chains they now face being sold into slavery. The ones who fall beneath the whips may go no further. For the others, what awaits?
