Is there perhaps a resource for the ancient images used in EBI and II, perhaps even Roma Surrectum? I mean the faction and shield symbols, mostly for Hellenistic and Skythian civilizations.
I know that many of them are based from coins, but there must be a resource that cleans up the images to how they 'should' look rather than a site just documenting the weathered remnants of the coin images.
The art and symbolism is very fascinating to me, the Owl, The Hellenon Medusa, etc.
The easiest way to do it is to trace your images on a vector program and then edit them in phtoshop or something.Quote:

I'm pretty sure you have to pay? Kinda like the drawings of osprey publishing... I wish I had money.Quote:

you often do the art for these things so you surely can appreciate the fascinating imagery
? Umm, it is very hard to do drawings, for instace the osprey books are sold, but I guess you can find some, possibly wikipedia.Quote:

On the Bactrian faction symbol: the panther is a dionysiac symbol offently used on early Greco-Bactrian coins, like those of Agathokles.
DANKE!
