A Defeated Race?

Post by levied troop »

‘German, this is our aqueduct
And not the Rhines, Barbarian clot,
How dare you elbow and obstruct
A thirsty boy from drinking? What!
Jostle a Roman from his place!
This is the conqueror’s fountain, not
A trough for your defeated race.’
Martial, epigram no.XI/xcvi


Inspired by an Andy Grainger article in a long ago Wargames Illustrated, this started out as a DBA army and got slightly out of hand. I completed a few figures this year and thought I’d better call it ‘finished’!

There are Romans to oppose them - but I can’t call them finished just yet!

I thought this thread might have been about the cricket. Oh well, next best thing......
