Hello Howard, your arch is way out there and something different. I also like the stone steps and grass. Did you make the steps or are they a bought piece?
Looks like I will be getting my wish for fighting Persians and possible Immortals with news on a TG thread. Well done on that diorama. Regards Greg.

The arch is called a Dokana. I did some research on the internet and it is also in a Osprey publications book on the Spartans.

Howard, wonderfully done. I love the ancients, collect a few pieces and think your religious altar piece very worthy of a collection.

Such a great diorama. It shows how a few figures with an awesome base can make such a great story
