    That should be Benjamin Disraeli, if I recall correctly. I recently did an essay on Victorian politics, so I'm familiar with this picture.

    I've seen that one before in connection with the Persian Wars. Could it be Themistokles or maybe Militades?

    Yep it is Miltiades. I felt it was fitting, considering the bravery of the Greeks in their recent referendum (heroism, in my opinion).

    Your turn!

    A quick search satisfies me that this is indeed Elizabeth Bathory. I noticed Sith was going through some 'issues' when geyserik answered and his post in this thread may have just slipped his mind.

    so....

    Honestly stumped with this one, and I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before


    Lucius Septimius Severus?
