I was going to go with a Republican Roman General. Probably Scipio likeness, off his bust and a Gaul falling from a hit from the startled horse...Ignore the rider, its just shown to give an idea of relative size.

Now that would make a nice little army command base.

Like to see the completed model though before final judgement.

Being a life-ling procrastinator I prefer Fabius Maximus "Cunctator", but this is certainly a nice set!

Very nice model; and I've always respected Scipio for turning down the offer of becoming dictator perpetuo.  If I weren't skint, I'd seriously consider getting one of these despite an otherwise complete absence of republican Romans from my collection.

The cool thing is that the head is provided loose. This mini could take the head from 'Pyrrhus' and then could be 'Pyrrhus' fighting in Italy with a mercenary Spaniard... Or even young Hannibal!!!!
