Those look like very nice sculpts but the sword guy has a shield depicting the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. At least according to legend, the Trojan War was around 1200 BC but Rome wasn't founded until 400 years later.

Yes, but the Roman poet Virgil wrote the Aeneid. This tale involved Trojans leaving after the sack of Troy and crossing to Italy and founding the city of Rome. Here is a link for a quick plot overview: https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/aeneid/summary/ This ties together the history of the Trojans with early Rome and the founding so I'm guessing that is the connection depicted on the sheild. Maybe Ken will check in and comment?
