Mithridates VI of Pontus








Here's a guest post by Garry of Mithridates VI of Pontus. The Mithridates figure is by Relic Miniatures and he is accompanied by a Sarmatian Bodyguard of A&A Miniatures. Apparently there is a reference to his 'golden hair' and the Aventine standard traces his descent from the royal Achaemenid line.

  2. Great looking sculpts; BTW, Mike Evans of Relic is a really cool guy - he's just north of me up in Vancouver, B.C. A very talented sculptor.
