Happy Birthday From Ancient Rome!

I have always been fascinated by history and in particular the Ancient Romans.

As a child I drew little Roman figures. Rather like those I found in my favorite Asterix books. The Happy Roman Legionary was my most popular go to character.

With these cards, and their variations, I think I relive my childhood passion for Ancient Rome.
