Listened to a podcast today about the Roman Arena, and they said that one way we know female gladiators existed is because of this relief of two gladiators with the stage names Amazon and Achillia (the female form of Achilles)

Character designs for my upcoming book "Lockettopia: The Trojan War Cycle."

In the lost epic Aethiopis, attributed to Arctinus of Miletus, PENTHESILEA, queen of the Amazons and daughter of Ares, comes to Troy after Hector’s death to aid Priam. She fights with extraordinary skill, briefly turning the tide against the Greeks. In single combat she is slain by Achilles, who, according to later tradition, is overcome with remorse as she dies.

I welcome your feedback on the character designs! :D And Please share with your followers. xoxo
