Probably I'm going to sew some figure on it (not "on top of it", but the lines of the image are just the thread itself). I was thinking of an eagle on the left and a depiction of Mars on the right.
Does anyone have any good pictures on which I can base those useless but still hopefully good looking sewings? :lol:
Anyone? For "Mars", I am going to base the picture on a tribune depicted on the Domitius Ahenobardus altar (?). The eagle is proving harder to find. Otherwise maybe "SPQR" (like this) but I have heard once "spqr" was not used in military context. Is this correct?
If you put SPQR on it like that we will have to burn it at the next event :wink:
