Julius Caesar - Roman General

$4.00

Who better to lead "Caesar's Legions" than Caesar himself? We asked the talented Steve Saleh to sculpt Julius Caesar as he would have appeared during his Gallic campaigns against the Celts. Specifically, we wanted a Caesar who wasn't afraid to FIGHT.

Here's a great passage from Caesar's autobiographic "Gallic Wars" setting the scene:
"When Caesar, who had addressed the 10th Legion reached the right wing, he found his troops under severe pressure and, because all the standards of the 12th had had been collected into one cramped space, the soldiers packed so close together that they got in each other's way as they fought, while all the centurions of the fourth cohort had been killed - together with the standard bearer: the standard was lost - and those of the other cohorts as well, including the very brave senior centurion, Publius Sextius Baculus, who had so many terrible wounds that he could no longer stand, and when Caesar saw that the rest of the men were slowing down, and some in the rear ranks had given up fighting and were intent on getting out of range of the enemy, while the enemy in front kept pouring up the hill and were pressing us on both flanks, he recognized that this was a crisis because there were no reserves available, so he snatched a shield from a soldier in the rear ranks - Caesar had no shield with him - and went forward to the front line, where he called out to all the centurions by name and shouted encouragement to the rest of the men, whom he ordered to advance and to open out their ranks so that they could use their swords more effectively."

This is a metal figure and may contain lead. Not suitable for children under 13 years of age.

Review this product:

Great looking figure, but that sword is HUGE! Like bigger than his whole arm. I'll probably cut it off and give him a regular one.

I will likely also cut off the sword, or at least file it down. Based upon the selection from his Gallic Wars above, I'll probably give him a shield too, as I have dozens of extras. However this does nothing to tsake away Steve's great sculpting ability.

Awesome looking fig! Thanks for making these available seperately.

the model itself is good. it really captures ceaser in the moment. but as many have said, that sword is just ridiculously huge

i agree tht the sculpt is awsome but the sword definately needs to be filled down a bit

Will you be makeing any more command figures for the Romans? Such as Pompey, Octavion,and Mark Anthony and others, would be useful for the Roman Civil War at the end of the Republic. Also Tribunes, and a Legate would be great.
