Description
ANCIENTALIA: MEET ROME
He may look like a playful and carefree Adonis on the outside, but this heartthrob is actually quite ruthlessly efficient and interested in questionable forms of entertainment. One part skilled soldier, one part cranky senator and one part stubborn five year old, Rome is a man obsessed with having the whole world under his thumb.
not 100% happy with how this came out (how do background??) but might as well stop fussing and move on to other things!
I thought it would be cute to have a stupid slogan for each of the four main characters and ‘entitled old man’ was the second thing to pop into my head after ‘foxy grandpa’
I’m trying to get an easy style for the comics that’s a combination of how i sketch and the clean lines and colours of my palette doodles. So far this is the best thing I’ve come up with! 
were doing this bros were makin this happen

Gotta love Rome. Except when he pillages your hamlet and sells you to the slave markets, BUT STILL!!!
Also, have you heard of a tv series actually called "Rome"? It's set at the time of Julius Caesar and tells the stories of these various characters (both real and fictional, I think) whose lives run around the actions and influence of this roman conqueror. If you ever get to find it, watch it because it's really intriguing and entertaining, although a bit explicit on various subjects (like scenes in the brothels of Rome). The thing I like most is that it shows the ancient traditions of the romans but you can recognize some modern-days attitude in the characters (for example, not everyone is an asshole to their slaves and they even feel bad about the way they're treated).
Along with that there's also another series called Vikings. I'm not gonna tell you everything now, but if you feel like it you can check them out because they're quite interesting series

I have heard of Rome. My professors love it! (Although if I remember my Roman History professor was quite unhappy about how one of the characters was portrayed... something to do with his age being wrong) I haven't seen it myself yet, but my classmates have discussed elements of it in my seminars for their personal projects. Someone did a really good project on ancient curses and compared them to Rome, where some modern biases had slipped through.
I'm all caught up on Vikings, actually. I started watching it when it first premiered. It's fantastic and I love how they integrate the languages!

Wow, so Rome got quite popular then! Well, I guess it wouldn't be aired here in Italy if it wasn't
