Well, they should make it one unless you get all four heads with the figure. ~Gary

I believe that you do get all four heads with the senator so that you can individualize your kit. I just thought I had caught up on the Soldier's kits in my Roman collection and now this. When will it ever end? Actually do I ever want it too?

As long as Adriano Laruccia keeps turning them out then I am happy to keep buying them. One of my favorite sculptors, I have all of his works to date.

Where can I preorder it? I checked the soldiers.it site, but could not find anything. Is it 54mm or 70-75mm?

Thanks, Marco

The multi head option on the senator is very nice!

Superb sculpting. The Roman Senator is my favourite. I'm assuming the 4 different heads come with the kit? If so, that represents tremendous value and ensures you'll never see two figures exactly the same.

 

[Caratacus]

The left hand head of the line-up looks like either Marcus Aurelius or Lucius Verus and I think one of the others is Vespasian (the one on the right). One of the middle ones may be Trajan but the light angle is wrong to be certain!

It's a lovely figure (and Laruccia has got the way the toga is tied absolutely correct, including the 'bulla' - the fold of cloth pulled through at waist level). Note, also, that the figure has the correct (and special) pattern of shoe worn by this group. The only thing is I find it difficult to imagine where such a figure would fit into a collection of Roman military subjects. It could be used as a 'prop' with one of the other figures (e.g. the ones of either Hadrian - from Romeo - or Germanicus). Whatever, it's a nice figure.

I see that AL is continuing with the 'late Roman Empire' period with the other figure. This period (4th-6th centuries AD) has been little covered by other manufacturers. As usual, the helmet (a ridge, Berkasovo type) is rendered masterfully.
