i don't recall what calibre firelocks gaius julius caesar used at alesia in 52 b.c. his artillery looks a bit outdated for the period. the hooped cannon was obsolete by 60 b.c., surely. i like the roman tents inside the circumvallation. the double eagle byzantine flags were a nice touch. made me feel like i'd been there. should have added a few aquila for caesar's 12 legions...

nice depiction of the weapons of the period it was painted tho.

a slightly more accurate photo taken of vercengetorix's surrender, found on an ancient but serviceable sd card found at alisia.
