Hi Stefanos,
really very nice, especially the archer. As I know from the other pictures by Nikos Panos he or You both make good research before painting, are there any references about Caesarian archers using this kind of small round shields?
BTW, I like Nikos' style of painting, it is very similar and reminds me to Ronald Embleton who made a lot of professional paintings for Osprey publishing.

Very nice painting but weren't the Romules & Remus added to the wolf during the Renaissance?

Wow that's nice picture! I'd like it.
Hmm, did roman archers use parma type shields?

Jyrki, in future send an email to me or one of the moderators, that's probably faster than just calling for help in a thread. Nevertheless, I'll have a look.

The archer represents an elite veteran Cretan archer of the X legion.
Please refer to my article on the Cretans in Roman service in the site Encyclopedia.
I am not sure though if the shield emblem was the Legion emblem or a Cretan local emblem.
Kind regards

Hail,
Just so you know, I cant see any pictures either, I tried to refresh I also tried using both Netscape and Internet explorer but no luck. This isn't the first time I've experienced this, or not experienced this on this web site.
Just thought I'd let you know.
