Publius Marius Celsus


Publius Marius Celsus was a former consul, who commanded the Othonian cavalry at Ad Castores.  He was a relative of the famous Gaius Marius.


I like an active pose for a cavalry commander, and so added a shield to one of the more dynamic Aventine generals.   The relatively simple paint job came out nicely, and contrasts the complex LBMS shield design.

You do nice work BigRBC. I've enjoying your artistic hand for a long time now. Great idea for the shield...personalizing your work. Nice touch!

Aventine look so good and you did a fabulous job on this one (same as the minis from the previous post)!

He's come out well, nice one Simon. I'm about to tackle a few generals for my late Romans as well, hope they turn out as good.
