Roma Invicta
A huge part of Roman Empire's success was its army. Arguably, Rome's army really was undefeated, and "Roma Invicta", or "Unconquerable Rome" did very much apply... The reason behind Rome's failure was mostly the politics, which led to constant civil wars.
This is a Roman Legionnaire from a very late period. While standard equipment meant they all had same gear which gave huge advantages, it had to be mass produced, which led to lowering quality of Roman Legions' equipment. However, their tactics were unmatched for a very long time, and Rome's Legions carried it all the way from Middle East to Britain, making it possibly the greatest empire in history.

I try to do as much research on each thing I draw beforehand, to make sure I know exactly what I'm trying to go for. This involves me selecting about ten different images that show the most of the (usually) man I want to draw. I then go on to draw them with pencil before scanning and inking.
Also, I'll be next drawing Axex, per his request, before I get around to further requests. Thanks for the support though! ^_^
Dem boots.

As per request, Mary Rose.
Unfortunately enough there isn't as much information about what it actually looked like as I would like, despite the fact that around a third of the ship remains intact. Mary Rose was a Carrack-type Warship, a popular kind especially at the beginning of 16th century. The ship itself is extremely well known for what its discovery has done for archaeology. This is NOT the ship that sunk because of the amount of guns it was loaded with. That was a Swedish ship called Vasa. Mary Rose served well for over thirty years, before eventually sinking during battle, presumably because of water getting into the open portholes. Admittedly, this would mean that the ship sunk from its weight, but under completely different circumstances as Vasa.

*tries not to type a wall of text all about the Mary Rose* ;3;
Very nice, by the way

Still prettier than you. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
What is the point in even comparing the vasa, the Vasa wasn't overloaded, it wasn't balanced enough and it was a new an innovative ship, so the design was new and most ship builder built out of memory, and didn't get exact sizes on what the doodlesmasher was going to be compared to the hoppeldooder.

It wasn't a comparison per say. I was simply clearing out a very common to some mistake that it was the Mary Rose that sunk from its weight balancing. Brits often associate that ship to be the one which sunk on her maiden voyage, and I was merely cleaning up a common misconception.
Also, you'd be surprised how well ships were measured out. Pressure from Gustav Adolph and his total power over the state which made Vasa's designers too scared to confront him were ultimately the causes of the ship's sinking. Ship designers all knew it wasn't balanced well enough.
