Thanks Mark.

Just an expansion of my little set up, Cutting it Fine, of people wanting to flee the eruption of Vesuvius.

Apparently the Romans were incorrigible gamblers, so I thought I had better include the boys playing Knuckle bones in the background, unfortunately they're half hidden by the Farmer.
The Amphora in the foreground if anyone is wondering are supposed to be floating in the sea, having been chucked overboard because of the far more profitable human cargo coming aboard.

Thanks Mike !

You'd think with all the technology available these days that, sculpts would be able to more accurately do that, but then there's going to be permissions etc etc which I understand with actors, past and present, but when you have world famous lifetime sculptures of the great and the good and a figure looks nothing like them well, becomes a bit disheartening !

One of those situations where money is no consideration, whatever the cost, anything to get aboard and to safety. Good use of the backdrop Steve. Robin.

 

[Horus]

Thanks Robin.

A Golden opportunity, was in the running for a title for the scene.

Yes as you say, whatever the cost, though if someone comes along and outbids you, and you're chucked out to the tender mercies of the sea, well, they'll say, you should of hung onto your youth and vigor, as nothing else counts in time likes these !
Money may Talk, but brute force wins the day as the Barbarians will tell you.

No Mercy back then, and ever increasingly creeping West, here too now.
