I would like some advice from chaps here.
Thracian foot troops need a command pack (they may ignore it but it is the thought that counts).

3 poses. Officer with a sword, standard bearer (draco?), musician base guitar long verical horn???

Thanks for any input.

Not draco - not introduced until well into the Roman Imperial period. Something similar to the Macedonian style of standard would be more likely.

Xenophon mentions a horn sending signals, though Chris Peers illustrated a trumpet in the Osprey. There are trumpets illustrated in the Kazanluk tomb, though not in a military context.

Thank you very much Duncan.
