An actual 'Caesar' or his army? Alain Touller makes a nice figure for Caesar. I really like the Feudal Castings Roman infantry from QRF but I found the horses for the triumvirate figures very small compared to any other cavalry, including others from Feudal Castings. PK |

What was his horse called/like? (Original Caesar, not Caligula!) |

There is no record of the name of Julius Caesar's horse. However, according to Suetonius, it appears to have been polydactyl: He rode a remarkable horse, too, with feet that were almost human; for its hoofs were cloven in such a way as to look like toes. This horse was foaled on his own place, and since the soothsayers had declared that it foretold the rule of the world for its master, he reared it with the greatest care, and was the first to mount it, for it would endure no other rider. Afterwards, too, he dedicated a statue of it before the temple of Venus Genetrix.
(Suetonius, Life of Caesar 61) link Example of polydactylism in horses: picture Cheers,
