Unlike the previous set, Roman Port, which contained a couple of slaves, this set is mostly slaves and a couple of sellers / Guards. 6 sellers and guards and the rest slaves, although one woman could theoretically be a citizen looking on in disgust/shock.
There´s a bit of Flash...but worse still..some of the bods appear to have had extra bits of sprue or excess plastic removed, in some cases badly, leading to removal of parts of heads and arms.
The set divides mostly into little vignettes;
....Brutal guard beating slaves.......the guard would make another addition to an angry mob Scene.....
.....Brutal guard leading a mothers child away....
....brutal seller displaying his female captives. The female on the left could be either a slave awaiting her turn or a shocked onlooker. She doesn´t appear to have sandals so she could fall into the slave category.
....another guard leading away a prisoner.....
...and lastly, two buyers.
The two bods effected by having whatever it was (Sprue or excess plastic) sliced away.
One the right the kneeling mother has lost part of her right arm and the guard leading her child away his forehead. It doesn´t occur on every sprue and it would have maybe been a lot better to let the customer deal with the excess plastic.
