Hi all,<br>
<br>
Could anyone tell me if the prints shown on [url=http://www.aeroartinc.com/roman/default.htm" target="top]this website[/url] are from a book? It's called the St.Petersburg Collection, which I thought was associated with Military modelling.<br>
Is AeroArt a (re)seller or are these pictures from some book on Roman military history?<br>

That also always wondered me. I haven´t seen these pictures anywhere else... <p>-------------------------------------------------------<br>

I have the Aeroart prints. They're high quality and look very nice when framed. The Aeroart artists are Russian, like the St Petersburg collection painters. Ergo the connection.<br>

Perhaps it is just the effect of having a cornicern of the Legio XIIII directing his cornu blasts at the tribune's ear.<br>

He looks an awful lot like Vespasian, if you ask me... <p></p><i></i>
