Senate Faction Icon

It was done by Parmenio quite early on, dunno the story behind it, but it was done early on when the senate was thought to be necessary still I believe.

Yep, it was made by Parmenio as a candidate -among several- to Roman or Senate icon. He himself discarded it, despite being quite good, because the eagle looked quite chickenish, and didn't inspire power.

I guess the old icon thread must be buried somewhere. It included Parmenio's impressive efforts, Parmenio's not-quite-impressive sudden defection (What happened to the guy? We never knew, maybe something happened to him. Hope he's OK), and my first ludicrous attempts to take his task forward -a bit ashaming but tender (just like being Süssmayr and trying to finish Mozart's Requiem).

Well, dux is right. Now that he mentions it, it is clearer in my memory too - Parmenio did it as an icon for the entire Romani faction, but we weren't happy with it really (chicken comments already mentioned) and stuck it in as a senate icon instead. It wasn't designed for the Senate only, my mistake if I conveyed that.
