POST HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTIONS
Try to aim for a semblance of realism, meaning minimal anachronisms and inaccuracies; this excludes art of the Renaissance and earlier.
Doesn't have to just be buildings and stuff, but people too.
>>370699
What are some good sources for stuff like this?
Ivory Bangle Lady of Roman York
>>370829

Yea ok blacklivesmatter
>>370699

>>370829
Seen her skull. Definitely Moroccan.
>>370846
moroccans aren't black though
>>370699
i fucking love these, historically accurate or not
>>370912
She could have been a North African with black grandma for example.
>>370781
The Osprey books have lots of uniforms and equipment...
>>370781
There are plenty of American artists who portray historical military events...
>>370929
once i tried to download the Osprey books torrent
then i realized it was 30 GB of pdfs and stopped. all i wanted was Angus Mcbride's artwork
>>370781
Model kits also have good artwork of soldiers (and tanks and planes and stuff for later wars)...
>>370748
bumping for sexy osprey illustrations
>>370781
And actually the Civilization games have quality reconstructions to the best of historical knowledge, but as far as cityscapes, I have difficulty finding much that isn't mythological or romanticized.
>>370947
North African genetics is Mediterranean genetics. una faccia, una razza
>>370912
>>370947
I said she's Moroccan, as in not Black.
I live in York, her skeleton is laid out in the Museum in the city gardens.
Viking is just 50% of the injuries on a Viking skeleton found here. I didn't manage to take the other picture of the rest as an American tourist woman kept leaning over it.

>In striking contrast, sub-Saharan L lineages are prevalent in North African Arab and Berber populations at frequencies around 20–25% (25.5% in Moroccans, 24.9% in Tunisians, 30.2% in Libyans; our unpublished data), yielding a difference exceeding an order of magnitude.

>>371005
I am saying that claiming she is Mediterranean is stupid because that is contrary to genetics and her obvious phenotype.
I have an almost sexual attraction to functional fortifications.
they make me feel all warm and fuzzy and secure.
>>371011
>i am just saying specialists with direct access to the find dont know better than me from looking at a picture of it on 4chan
>>371011
Her phenotype, her face, is a complete reconstruction. We have no real idea on her skin colour or hair type. They found a skeleton in a grave surrounded by expensive Jewellery.
Afrocentrists have naturally gone crazy going so far as to call her the African queen or York.
>>371034
How can you tell she is a mixture?
>>371038

>>371058
Experts have said she seems to be north African, by her remains. Not Black African, just a brownish Berber.
I see no reason why they wouldn't have lived in Roman York in the 4th century.
All i hate is Afrocentrists equating Berber with Bantu
can we stop talking about niggers and get back to posting /his/torical reconstructions
stop arguing genetics and post models and illustrations, for fucks sake
why /pol/ ruins everything?
>>371071
She was probably the wife of some legionary who wound up settling in Britain.
>>371090
I'm not pol I'm a fucking North African who is tired of this damn website claiming we are one thing or another.
She is mixed like all of us.
>>371103
Your trash like the rest of Mena.
>>371128
I don't care what you have to say, I'm posting a North African in Western Europe who lived beyond that of most of the Roman Empire.

Mediterranean was a natural cauldron for cultural and economic exchange. Don't expect people to fit into strict categories. People in my family consider themselves white, as does everyone around us, but I've see American blacks on TV with lighter skin, sometimes even lighter hair, than some of us.

Did Great War troopers used flails like in the picture?

Wasnt Saddam rebuilding something like that before he got USA'd?
>>371886
I dunno about actually USING them, but I trust osprey did their research about them being equipped.
>>371887
Yeah, reconstructed parts of Ur. Most famous the Ziggurat and Abraham's house

Ahh, sweet nostalgia. I loved these books.

What did they do with all the dirt? Wouldn't mounds of dirt on the surface be a dead giveaway?
>>371952
>What did they do with all the dirt?
clean it up? they're chinks after all?
>>371279
Did all of those walls ever do any good?
>>371952
Maybe Americans are just really stupid?
>>371952
They were in a jungle filled with boobytraps. I highly doubt American GIs were going to pay attention to dirt mounts
>>371952
Terrain isn't flat to begin with and jungle foliage gives excellent coverage.
>>371978
They probably should have, because giant dirt mounds are an easy enough indicator that some Vietnamese may pop out of the ground at any second and shoot you.
>>371989
well now you know why they lost :¬)

I would have guessed Japanese looking at that.
>>371244
I lived in one of those houses... good memories.
>>372344
Without seeing the text that goes with the illustration, i think it's a reference to a castle that was under siege and one of the attackers managed to climb up through the shitters and open the gates from the inside
>>372344
Looks like they're throwing out corpses through the toilet, dunno.
>I always put figures in. As an illustrator you quickly catch on to the fact that nobody's going to look at it if there's no human interest. When you start including figures, you can begin to create a sense of atmosphere. You can show how people relate to a space and you can explore the realities and practicalities of the place, how people lived, how they adapted to their surroundings, how they slept, how they ate.
>>372422
>>372344
>>372398
Found the text that goes with it:
A slippery climb
Invaders even tried climbing up the latrine shaft to get in the castle. This approach broke the siege of Château Gaillard, France, in 1204. However, if the invaders got stuck and died, the drains needed a good cleaning before the latrine could be used again.
>>372471
Christ can you imagine being stuck and the defenders knew you were in there?
You bet they'd like up to shit on you, you'd probably suffocate in it.

I did it and went through the whole damn thing deselecting what I didn't want as I went. It was quite a task but it was worth it. There seem to be a lot of redundant issues though.
>>373785
Kids love wee and poo and gore, so they all feature heavily in kids history books to try and get them to actually care about history.
>>375969
You should see the works of Bruegel.
>>375848
It wasn't. It was near Salona, the capital of the province Dalmatia. Diocletian was born near Salona.
>>376001
Ah, but why not near the large old regional centers of the Empire?
>>376001
I'm guessing since the area was his homeland and the palace was supposed to be his retirement residence, he wanted to spend the rest of his days in a place that he had fond memories from his youth. Something like that.
>>375784
It was next to one, but now it's all been drained as far as I know.
