Description
"Caracalla, a Tragedy," Act One, Scene Three - end of the first act. So apparently I've written a lot of words... and they're having trouble fitting on the page... that, and they're clunky because I don't really know how to write poetry...Related content

Nice use of silhouettes, and the armor is, as already noted, quite effective. As T.S. Eliot once (sort of said), "Hacks borrow, but artists steal."

This is especially funny now, since one of the groups of which I'm a member (comicartmasters) just issued a blanket ban on "stealing" another artist's work in submissions to their gallery. I wrote a letter to the editor (not an angry one). I stand by Serious Comics' injunction to steal, and, in addition to R.G. Collingwood, I now have license from Eliot himself!

I'll be honest with you, Luis - I stole it. It's a modification of the armor Titus is wearing in Lawrence Alma-Tadema's "Triumph of Titus": [link]
I don't even know if it's what they'd be wearing in the third century (you know, that stuff is REALLY hard to find out... we have only the most general idea of what they wore back then; at most, we know that certain centuries wore certain things).

the reigster of the age was confused, and a tell you an history student, but counts as an inspiration
