Outstanding painting! The metalwork is really unique. Would love to know how it was done.

That's really nice.

And finally another bust that actually is a bust. Not a half-figure being called a bust!!

If crests were in fact unit identifiers (which is a big "if"), then the feathers at either side could suggest that he's a common soldier of Legio II Adiutrix Pia Fidelis based at Singidunum (modern Belgrade). They served in the Dacian campaigns of Domitian and Trajan (with the young future emperor Hadrian as a junior officer of the legion for a few years). Attached is ordinary legionary Caius Castricius Victor of LEG II AD who appears to wear these on his helmet [although this stone dates from a few decades earlier than the early 2nd century]. Despite what you see all the reenactor groups doing, there's no evidence at all that feathers at either side indicated an optio.

Nice looking figure, no idea what an optio is, a rank or rate I suppose. Love how they've done the armour much more realistic to how it would have looked, IMO, much better than the FeR boxart of their offering with shiny NMM, again IMO.
