Description
Something a bit different for me...but still in the realm of Fantasy. This is also more personal. A self portrait. Sure I love fantasy and scifi...but I also love ancient history. In particular, Roman history. I have family roots in northern Italy and have always been fascinated by the depth and breadth of the Roman influence on civilization. So this is...my 2000-year-old Self!Related content

La mia idea era semplice: se io stavo per fare un autoritratto, ho voluto raccontare di più su di me che semplicemente il mio aspetto. Quindi è una fantasia autoritratto! Sono felice che vi piaccia!

Hai avuto un idea fantastica, con l'uso della matita e dei colori sei riuscito a creare un bellissimo autoritratto e a far emergere la tua personalità molto creativa!

Hay muchas mas construcciones además de un anfiteatro y un acueducto, en el museo arqueológico Nacional de Madrid hay muchas cosas de los romanos. En Vich, Barcelona está el templo de Vich. Al lado de mi casa hay una calzada romana por la que solemos pasear XD. En Extremadura, está el puente romano de Alcántara y el arco de Trajano. En A Coruña está la torre de Heracles, construida por los romanos( o Hercules, pero mi madre se enfada cuando pongo Hercules XD) En Merida,hay un teatro romano, un anfiteatro y el Acueducto de los Milagros.En Merida hay un templo, llamado Diana. En Zaragoza, en Cadiz y en Cartagena también hay teatros. Tambien está el teatro de Caesar Augusta. Creo que el teatro romano de Segóbriga, llamado Saelices. Hay un circo romano en Merída. También unas ruinas de las termas de Cabezo de Teruel. Mismamente, hay unas termas romanas de Calatayud. También el palacio de Maximiano Hercúleo. Un arco del triunfo, llamado Bará en Tarragona. En fin, murallas, necrópolis, palacios, puentes, faros, construcciones funerarias, campamentos romanos, arcos... Hay muchas cosas mas, pero como siga ,para hoy no termino. Que puedo decir, los romanos dejaron su huella en Hispania...¡pero yo no he visto nada! Hasta mi prima fue a Roma y mi madre no me dejó ir
Un gusto haber conocido a alguien que tambien le interesen estas cosas! Encantado de conocerte Caesar120 o

Puedes llamarme Michael. * sonrisa * Una cosa que he aprendido de la historia romana antigua es que yo nunca quiero ser un César! Envidio a la abrumadora cantidad de artefactos romanos que España tiene. Nada de eso aquí en los Estados Unidos! El más cercano que he conseguido llegar a la antigua Roma es una pequeña colección de monedas romanas que he recogido durante los años. Mi preciada posesión es un sestersius del emperador Adriano. Es hermoso!

Pués te llamaré Michael. A mi realmente, me gustaría viajar en el tiempo al Antiguo Imperio Romano, pero claro, sin que me maten o torturen D: Una amiga mía viajó a Estados Unidos, nos dijo que era muy bonito, pero envidio mas a un amigo mío que estuvo en Madrid y vió el templo egipcio de Debob y construcciones romanas! A mi me van a comprar una moneda romana por navidad, ya publicaré una foto cuando la tenga. Aunque solo tenga 13 años me interesa mucho la Antigüedad.

Un viajero en el tiempo. * sonrisa * Yo también quisiera hacer eso ... pero ... creo ... como un espíritu. No es tanto el asesinato y la tortura que nos iba a sorprender en una cultura tan violentamente militarista ... pero la lucha cotidiana de la gente común para sobrevivir. Duro, corto, vida peligroso. Y el olor !! ¡Uf!
Sí, los Estados Unidos es un lugar agradable para visitar .... pero mucho más a favor de su situación, María. Hay tantas cosas maravillosas para que usted vea, sin tener que alejarse mucho de casa. Os animo a comprar una antigua moneda romana. Son abundantes, y la mayoría de ellos son muy asequibles. Espere hasta que usted sostiene uno en su mano ... y sentir el peso de la historia!

Gracias, Maria! Acuarela es mi pintura favorita. "Stormclouds" es un autorretrato. Una fantasia autorretrato. *sonrisa* Estoy fascinado por la historia antigua. Especialmente antigua historia Romana. Por lo tanta, parecio adecuado representar esa parte de mi alma. Por tanto esto es una pintura de mi de 2000 anos mi!
(He utilizado traductor para escribir esto. Espero que funcione!)

Great job! Kinda reminds me of Russell Crowe from Man of Steel.

Did...did you just diss Russell Crowe? You DID! You dissed Russell Crowe! Hey everybody....Sam just took a shot at THE Russell Crowe! *smile* And by association, he disrespected Superman as well! Who does that?!

yeah man! I love his movies, Gladiator is one of my all time favorites!

Gladiator was a fine bit of Hollywood. Done epic-style! *smile* Even had the standard Hollywood lack of historical accuracy. But still....quite cool!

True, I just look at it as historic fiction, and thus I enjoy it. The battles were very good, and I loved the Battle in Germania it did well with Hans Zimmer's score. Yes it is fiction, because I belive Commodus died in a bath in real life. And Marcus Arillus was a bastard in real life as well, though he was the more tollerable of the Emperors since he gave Christians a choice between accepting the Pagan gods or being fed to the lions.

I'm pleased to hear that, Jenny! *smile* I don't ordinarily get to step outside the scifi-fantasy genre. "Stormclouds" is an exception. It was refreshing!

It really becomes you! What I've always liked about your work was the down-to-earth feel of your characters. Nothing over the top, just extremely believable *people* - something that I strongly associate with the old Star Wars films and what was just a perfect fit for RPGing in that universe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very gratifying words, Jen...especially coming from someone as talented as you obviously are. I did strive for believability in my illustrations. I felt it was important to the gameplayers who paid so much for the books.

romanii? we celts of Danube have a truce with you, so don't brake it! lol kidding, nice picture!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh...Sir Charles... Truces are made to be broken! *smile* But as my word is my bond, I will do my best to uphold such agreements as have been forged between our peoples. I can, however, only speak for myself. My lead-headed superiors may have other ideas! I'm glad you like the piece. It was/is a fun bit of fantasy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the lazy Nero broke the truce and because of his attacks we almost perished 
but I believe you Romanii, you as a soldier have honor no corrupt romaních senatores or emperos could understand. salute glorius Centurione, sed memento mori
I salute you glorious Centurion, but do not forget that you are a mere mortal

Unlike Caesar...I don't have, nor do I need, a slave whispering in my ear to remind me of my mortal nature. A soldiers life offers more than enough proof!

Cool self portrait. You even look like Russel Crowe as he was in Gladiator.

Ha! *shaking head* If that's the case, Altug...my sympathies to Mr. Crowe! I am, however, glad that you like the mood of the piece.

It's the nearest I will get to walking in ancient shoes, Iglybo. In my mind...I can be there. Just another soldier in the ranks. Stationed on the northernmost border of the Empire.

It says a lot about how good this is that I really like it even though its a Roman. ^_^
(I'm a Durotrige, don't care if its 2000 years too late to be one I just am, and we never liked the Romans.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh! There are a whole lot of people(s) who didn't get along with Rome...especially in Brittany. The Durotrige being one of them. *smile* Based on the spirit of the peoples I'd have encountered (as my 2000-year-old-self), I believe I'd have nicknamed the place 'The Isle of Fire'!

Well we always did fight back. There was always a military precence in Enlgand because the romans knew if there wasn't we'd take our land back.
Of course then the anglo saxons nicked our land ¬_¬
But hey they were pretty cool about it, didn't go in for much taxation and had a democracy so, weren't too bad. Really it was the next invaders, the Normans who sucked ass.
And they never left still stuck the buggers. Took our land, taxed the hell out of us and basically turned every one in england into slaves, only they didn't have to provide us with food or shelter. Actually the Normans freed a lot of slaves because serfs were more profitable and had even less rights.
But any I shall not complain about every invader of my homeland or we'll be here all week.
Besides at some point I'd have to mention the vikings, and I love vikings, which is kinda hipocritical if I'm gunna be mad a romans and Normans.

The Normans. *smile* I remembering seeing a British coin commemorating the Norman Conquest. My instant reaction was to laugh and say "Why would the English want to commemorate being conquered?" That's when it hit me. The Normans never left!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They just didn't. Every peasent rebellion since then has been an attempt to return to the anglo saxon way of life. which used to be reffered to as the golden age.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know right, tis why I always refer to them as bastards.
Oh and those bloody evil knights. With all the their posh armour, going around the place wearing more money than a peasent will see in their whole lives just to say, don't even think about rebelling none of you're weapons could even hurt me.
And the scouring of the north *Shudder* I will never understand why more people don't hate the Normans.
