Finishing the Roman legions' vexilla series

So, I'm glad to conclude that after more than a year (A YEAR!), I finally achieved my goal to reconstruct (some) of the Roman legions' banners (aka vexilla) by my modest efforts. Something that occurred to me as kind of an experiment in my art attempts by the aspiration in one of my favorite themes - the ancient Rome history - expanded into full-scale-some-kind-of-historic-research and took a lot of time to be finished. Funny fact that the first piece (Legio I Germanica) has been submitted on my 23rd birthday (Nov. 22, 2016). (I don't know, it wasn't a plan, anyway, lol)
