About this product   The King portrays Julius Caesar, traditionally dressed in a toga, the distinctive costume which remained fashionable throughout the whole of the Roman period.  Caesar had several wives, none of whom played a significant role in Roman history.  The Queen, therefore, typifies a lady of noble birth in the dress of the period; the Cloak or Palla, with its multiple folds which resulted in its extravagant length.  The head-dress is also traditional, originating and modified from the original Greek.  The Bishop is represented by the Standard Bearer carrying the insignia of the legion.  He wears a General's mantle over the coat of mail with its traditional bronze decorations.  The Knight is a gallant soldier's horse and the Pawns are fighting foot soldiers.  The Rook takes its form from the Roman capital. Specifications: King height:  4" Board recommendation:  2-2 1/8" squares Chess set pieces only, board not included.
