Nice looking army; I think I've got that same marble in my kitchen. |

nice figures
not sure about having quite so many elephants but I'm not an expert |

Looking really great! The elephants are fine, if not a regular part of an EIR army. |

Yes, until recently I'd thought I was adding them just because all ancient armies should have war elephants (wink wink). In at least the 1st century A.D., I'm pretty sure the Romans used elephants (even in the British isles). |

Hi TigerJon, There is a story that Claudius brought one or two over with him, to frighten the natives. Also some camels. Best, Simon |

The Romans did use elephants during the Mid Republic. mainly against Macedon, but other than the story about Claudius had stopped using them by the early empire. A very impressive looking army! |
