Depicting a lower-class Roman soldier on the frontier, John Werwie painted a 120mm Rollcall Military Miniatures figure. He enhanced the shield’s perimeter with lead X-ray backing and sculpted the snakes at the base from Aves Apoxie Sculpt. He painted with a combination of Winsor & Newton artist oils and Vallejo acrylics, and applied pigments to the face and shield. The bits of brush come from the shores of Lake Michigan.
