Mine is the bust of Roman general Germanicus.


   

He was born Tiberius Claudius Nero. He invaded Germany in AD 14-16 and brutally decimated the German tribes in the Rhineland. He was given a triumph and adopted into the Julian clan and was renamed Germanicus Julius Caesar. He had a reputation for honesty, loyalty, patriotism, and being an inspiring leader to his soldiers. He died under mysterious circumstances and it's believed he was poisoned on the orders of senior level leadership in the Roman government jealous and fearful of his popularity and power.

Mick Taylor, from the Australian horror film Wolf Creek

Quote:Michael "Mick" Taylor is the main antagonist of the Wolf Creek film series, as well as the 2016 mini-series of the same name.

He is a calculating, manipulative, psychotic, traitorous, heartless, and sadistic man who kidnaps tourists after gaining their trust in the vast, empty Australian Outback and brutally tortures, sexually assaults, and mutilates them

Just your average Australian RVF member really.

A painting from an early 20th century American West artist named Philip Goodwin. A lone cowboy lighting a smoke saddled up on his loyal horse on a hilltop watching the cattle herd below. No doubt thinking of places of he's been and places he's going after his work is complete.

If I ever get settled somewhere one day, I want this painting framed in my living room.

16th century Croatian Leonidas called "Nikola Šubić Zrinski". He died in the last stand against the Ottomans in 1566 at the battle of Szigetvar. Both Croats and Hungarians consider him a hero.
