I’ve just come across this thread and there are some fantastic pictures here! I love seeing people’s artistic interpretations of the ancient world.
Would anyone mind if I posted some of my own works on here?
These are some drawings I did a few years ago of some of the famous figures from Rome’s early history and the Republic. I found them again whilst going through some old files recently.

- The first are the legendary twins Romulus and Remus.
- The second is (the equally legendary?) Coriolanus, who I drew wearing the Corona Civica he won in the Volscian Wars.
- Third is Marcus Furius Camillus
- Fourth is Apppius Claudius the Blind
- Fifth is Tiberius Gracchus, depicted as a military tribune in Carthage and wearing the Corona Murialis he won for scaling the enemy ramparts.
- Sixth is Gaius Marius
- Seventh is Cato the Younger, depicted wearing an old-style toga with nothing underneath, as a statement that he was imitating the early Republican Roman and their values. I must confess that I hate Cato.
