Mark of Falworth Posted January 15, 2015 The Siege of Alesia by Mark of Falworth, on Flickr Based off of the painting "Vercingetorix Throws Down His Arms at the Feet of Julius Caesar" 1899, by Lionel Noel Royer The Siege of Alesia by Mark of Falworth, on Flickr One of my favorite wars of history was the Gallic Wars which were a series of military campaigns waged by the Roman proconsul Julius Caesar against several Gallic tribes. Rome's war against the Gallic tribes lasted from 58 BC to 50 BC and culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul (mainly present day France and Belgium). The wars paved the way for Julius Caesar to become the sole ruler of the Roman Republic. Built for Major B's "Recreate History" contest. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ardelon Posted February 2, 2015 A wonderful representation of the painting - youve managed to keep the drama of the scene. Great posing of minifigs, and intersting solution to Caesars legs, as well as those of the gilded-helmed Roman. And special mention goes to the signums (signa?) and philarae recreated in the background! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
