Thank you! I wasn't aware, but it seems to be like a Viking, not a Pharaoh!

Thanks for sharing. Pharaoh or viking, he looks here like his name suggests - a guardian and defender of men.

Do you like it? I made it myself, looking at the Abukir medallion. I enjoy myself making experiments of painting!

Thank you, Tere! Do you know? Yesterday I watched again the movie Cleopatra (with Elizabeth Taylor, Rex Harrison and Richard Burton, 1963) and I was surprised at the stress they attached to the Alexander's heritage! But they were in Egypt, so...no wonder!

Do you like Rex Harrison as Caesar? I wonder why he is represented always wearing tights and long tight sleeves!
