Description
...Death of the Republic (the title was too long for the field), is the first of my covers to come out of non-disclosure.
It is published by Alephtar Games an indipendent publisher of historical RPGs for the D100 system.
This was quite different from my usual fare, in that the cover had to be historically accurate for the times of the late Roman republic, definitely not a 'fantasy' illustration.
I've also been more involved than usual in choosing the topic for the cover they had a few ideas, I submitted a few sketches and then the AD, author and Marketing director chose to go with the 'gladiators' option.
So here we have a Gaul and a Samnite fighting in an early wooden arena sometime in the 1st century B.C.
'Rome' will be officially released later this year at Tentacles Omega.

The Gaul's Shield decoration is not historically accurate for the portrayal however. Look up La Tene III or La Tene C, D for designs that would be more appropriate. What you have depicted is from the 500 AD-800 AD eras. Other than that, this is brilliantly done. More artwork is needed that correctly portrays the Continental Celts of the 600 BC 100 AD time frames.
