Eep!
That would be painful! -
What is he wearing on his head?
-
About the only thing you could really do would be to stab at his eyes
-
OMG, this is SO COOL!! If I were you I'd frame it
-
Thank you!
-
Thanks!!
Lol I've never done commissions. There isn't much of a market for it around here and online business deals make me nervous.
-
YW Pertinax.
Lol gladiators are one of the few topics within Roman history which I am actually knowledgable enough about to feel like i'm contributing something
-
That helmet was designed (with it's tiny fish like eye holes and crest) to provide adaquate protection from the Retairus' trident. This is the helmet of the secutor (chaser) who usually fought the Retairus (fisherman). He got his name because the Retairus fought in a style which included much running about the arena. The Secutor had to chase him down.
The fish-like design, presumably, developed because the Secutor was fighting a fisherman (fish vs. fisherman. the Romans had an odd sense of humor)

Did the Roman midwife take the place of today's gynocologist? Or did she simply deliver babies?
-
I didn't know they had those in ancient times.
-
Oh that's weird. Did those brass things go under the gums?
-
Looks like he has braces! What are those things on his teeth?
-
OH, it's an abortion tool. Makes sense than. Modern medicine has a thing that is used to aid in birthing which is also used to grab the head. It doesn't have teeth though. Looks kind of like two giant salad spoons
-
That looks like it would cause brain damage with those teeth...
Do you know what the other things are?
-
Ew, ok, you know what my response would be? "I'm not that blind yet. Come back when I can't see the thing you're going to poke my eye out with, then we'll talk"
what are the other things in the picture?
-
Nice!
Gladiators really did wear some odd things
-
Um...I have no idea how many
I've been doing this for a while lol and I use all different media.Wow you guys must really love this, I've got 10 comments!
-
Lol I should check back here more often
lol ANYTHING is better than Picasso,
-
Thank you!
Do you notice the iridescent glaze? Man I love that stuff!
-
I see. That's very interesting (and good to know). All I could think of was the horror stories of people having gauze left in them at hospitals
I suppose the real key, besides the honey, is not suturing the wound. If it were closed up tightly, the outcome would be much different wouldn't it?
-
Why leave the dressing in? Was it to be removed later? One would think that putting a dressing *inside* the wound like that would impede healing if not cause a serious infection
-
My handwriting sucks lol. It looks pretty from a distance, (I've started writing script thanks to my 11th grade math teacher who made us write everything in cursive) but if you try to read it...
I've been told my printing is "alien hyroglyphs"
-
Thank you!!
What's cilography?
-
Oh, OW that stuff looks painful lol. Man. They'd have to knock me out or something first (and I thought I was brave lol. I was watching the doctor stitch a severed tendon in my finger...and the novicane had wore off! and still that stuff makes me flinch!)

Good reasoning, but it looks quite silly without the helmet over top
And didn't this tend to make the helmet even hotter and uncomfortable?
I don't know what a Kendo helmet looks like, but I did TKD sparring for a few years...we never wore anything under our helmets (which were made of vented foam) in fact, many of the girls had a habit of pulling their ponytails out of the top of the helmet
I had thought perhaps the helmets were just thickly lined
did they ever line the helmets with anything?
