Just for the moment I like the heading of TG with civilians. I guess there will come a time when enough is enough. Good one Steve. Robin.

For the expanding Roman Empire enslavement of native peoples was one of it's driving forces for conquest for the profit generated as it had been in other Empires before and since !
I'm looking forward to seeing what other civilians TG comes out with. I'd prefer to see more everyday types such as perhaps drinking at a wineshop, perhaps some playing dice. Others eating at a Thermopolium, fetching water from a fountain, shoppers at market stalls, Builders working, Butcher, Baker, Blacksmith, Potter. A Priest or two sacrificing at an Altar, children playing games.
Plenty of opportunities for accessories items !
Maybe even a funeral procession !
I expect Robin you'd like a few spectators for you Team Gladiators !
Anyway time will tell whether we get figures to populate. Don't think I would be interested in adding more naked figures, such as bathers or Senators but there may well be those who would be.
Could be an idea for Tom Gunn to do a poll on what collectors would like in the terms of civilians. Though I expect others will only want more Legionaries !
