I love the bloke walking in front of the horses, he looks like he's announcing 'make way for The Focal Point of the Universe' or some such. The King looks like he really believes it; and, of course, he has a slave running alongside his chariot (probably carrying his fly whisk).

Very nice composition, I think it captures the essence of ancient eastern ruler.

This is really good Donald. One of your best single pieces as far as I can remember.

Thanks for the kind words.

@ Graeme - the Nubian slave has nothing in his hand & I was contemplating some sort of standard but the Royal Fly Whisk sounds an excellent idea.

BTW apologies for the horses who are ridiculously too big for the era.

Nice work on that chariot! And if anyone can afford the best and biggest horses, presumably it would be the Royal Stables! ;-)

This is one of the bonus figures of Caesar if I'm right. You did a fantastic job on him and that little vignette! :thumbup:
