It works! Excellent, thanks.

[Octavius Vatco]

its a portrait of Q.Labienus but maybe it could serve as a portrait for T. Labienus[/LEFT]

and here's one for metellus scipio

[Octavius Vatco]

Wait.... Historically, was Caesar really Blonde, semi blonde or not???

[bucellarii]

He is said to have been tall of stature with a fair complexion, shapely limbs, a somewhat full face, and keen black eyes.....He was somewhat overnice in the care of his person, being not only carefully trimmed and shaved, but even having superfluous hair plucked out, as some have charged; while his baldness was a disfigurement would troubled him greatly, since he found that it was often the subject of the gibes of his detractors. Because of it he used to comb forward his scanty locks from the crown of his head....They say, too, that he was remarkable in his dress; that he wore a senator's tunic with fringed sleeves reaching to the wrist, and always had a girdle over it, though rather a loose one; and this, they say, was the occasion of Sulla's mot, when he often warned the nobles to keep an eye on the ill-girt boy

Seutonius, Divus Iulius 45

Julius Caesar's appearance is described or alluded to exceedingly seldom in classical literature. As one of these few references, and by far the most important, Seutonius' description (Iulius 45) will always be read with the utmost interest.

Monroe E. Deutsch, Concerning Caesar's Appearance

I believe there is no surviving reference to Caesar's hair colour in ancient literature.

His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and inclining to golden; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent slightly inward. His complexion was between dark and fair

Seutonius, Divus Augustus 79

He was about the average height, his body marked with spots and malodorous, his hair light blond, his features regular rather than attractive, his eyes blue and somewhat weak, his neck over thick, his belly prominent, and his legs very slender.

Seutonius, Nero 51

Augustus's mother, Atia was the daughter of Caesar's sister whilst Nero stressed his descent from the divine Augustus.

What does this suggest with regard to Caesar's hair colour? I have no idea

[Octavius Vatco]

Well, Nero's is slightly blonde and Augustus is Blonde but both of them were not Caesar's Biological decendants so there's no telling??

I think that I have finished all the unit cards, replacing the old ones both for 77BC and 58BC. So I will run some private beta-test and try to fix some things during this week. Hopefully, everything might be ready in about a week. Anyway, if you want to start working with the translation I could send you the latest version of both mods.

Concerning Marius vs. Sulla, we are still awaiting for a proper map for the modification.

Thanks for your support, Kozak

Edit: as raised in this thread:

That would be very good. I am interested primarily texts files with scripted mission messages and description and characterization of units and information like acta diurnia in 58BC - all unique information for the mod.

And if possible in any way would be very good if you place noted for translation in some way. In 58 BC I spent a lot of time not to transfer, as necessary to search phrases in the text

[Salvor Hardin]

Great job, guys!

[Octavius Vatco]

Wow!!! That's Great..... Oh Can I also request for another second (also for custom use) portrait of Caesar??


It kind a looks even great when they're not looking directly at the camera in my opinion.....

This one for vercingetorix is a good one.. its from the TFT

[bucellarii]

In what year will start the FMIR? At what age will be Marius and Sulla?

The Marius Campaign will start in 107 BCE when Marius was about fifty years of age.

Sulla was born in about 138 although the start date for the Sulla Campaign has not been finalised.

Please pass on our thanks to L7c - his work is fantastic

Hey, Kozak. This is an astonishing work that you have made with LC7. I will add this to the next version of 77BC and 58BC. Which you will have the chance to preview rather soon, by the way.

[Octavius Vatco]

This one is Jugurtha

[Kozak]

We found this portraits in high quality, very soon they will be made

This is one of the early works of L7c:



August


This is not for mod very soon L7c will be made new portrait of August

[Octavius Vatco]

Great.. now the mod will have portraits of all three of Caesar's enemies in Gaul..

This is not for mod :original: very soon L7c will be made new portrait of August

nevertheless, these are magnificent portraits of Augustus.
