The standard sword used by a Roman legionary was a gladius, which is actually "sword" in Latin. This is where gladiators get their name from - gladiator means 'swordsman'.

AKHENATEN

uhhh let's see. I combined some sketches I did of Nefertiti and Akhenaten and ended up somewhere here for an Akhenaten design. in my heart, it's for a comic but there's so much visual research I'd have to do before I could even think about approaching a comic. oof.

anyway moving on: Akhenaten was a childhood obsession! and then I moved onto other things, as one does, but then a couple months ago I decided to check out some books and now I have a headache.

Akhenaten, Ronald T. Ridley

Deepeeka – Roman Cavalry Spatha

This functional replica Roman Cavalry Spatha has a tempered and durable blade of C60 high carbon steel which is sturdily mounted into a hilt of polished wood with a carved bone grip. Unlike its shorter-bladed cousin, this Roman sword has a longer blade intended for cavalry use. The sword is paired with a wooden scabbard which is bound in brown leather and completed with extensive brass plate embellishment and brass hanging rings. A leather sword baldric is included with the scabbard for wear.

Celtigar and dayne hairstyles pls???

Hairstyles of Houses Dayne and Celtigar

So the Dayne’s are dornish so they keep the Greco-Roman inspired hairstyles but as opposed to most other dornish houses who wear gold or copper they wear silver. I have a headcannon that I got from a fic that the dornish are expert glass artists so they wear slot of glass accessories, the daynes however opt for amethysts and tanzanite.

House Celtigar is of Valyrian descent, their hairstyles are unlike the the Targaryen’s however and have a strong stormlands and crown lands influence with elaborate updo’s and marine inspired, especially crustacean, headpieces. I hc that like the Velaryon’s they trade a lot so they are a richer house.
