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).
