Hi Carlo,
Stunning work! Although this has a bit of a 'last stand' feel about it (you could call it 'Adrianople').
My only suggested adjustment would be the spearhead above the draco: the one we have has no hole in the skull, so we can be sure that there was no spear 'through the head'!
Interesting helemt on that moustached guy on the left!
I would not call this 'French', too many non-Franks present..

Quote:Chalons is IMO the last Roman Victory and the first French, because Chalons is at the same time the last chapter of the ancient world and the first battle of the Middle Age....Is it? It's a major battle, that's for sure, and to be frank (no pun) I'm not sure how the 'Roman' forces actually looked, would be recognise them at all? How many Franks, how many Gallo-Romans? Two-thirds of the army were Goths (well, the Gothic army, we know Romans also fought in their ranks) as well as Alans.
I would not call this 'French', too many non-Franks present..
