Are there Roman plebeians? I only see the ones in togas...
(Have you guys made any customs? :roman: )
:wave:

Ps. I tried to upload a picture of some ancient Roman plebeians, it was too big... I'll come back with it, as soon as I can.

Half a denarii for an ex-leper?

With his beard falling off his face..
I can't stand that. It completely ruins the pic. That and the beard over their eyes..
As to civilians, they are hiding - you know, a torso here, legs there...

Noah and his wife perhaps:

(Link goes to a part that is part of the 3 sets that were released with Noah and his wife)

Makes him look like a fake beggar. Probably goes home afterwards then gives the money to his servants to spend at the market.

The police will bring the killers to justice eventually.

It's a fake beard because she's going to the stoning later.
Gustavo: The short answer is no. They never released any nonmilitary lower class Romans. The Martin beggar is arguably one but a) St. Martin dates to the fourth century A.D., a bit after the first century Roman theme, and b) his rags are such that he could be from almost any time and any place within a couple thousand years - there's nothing "Roman" about him.
So we Romanophiles have to make do. First, we dragoon likely suspects: the Maries, Josephs and shepherds from the (first century!) Nativity sets 5588, 5719/3996, 5958, 4884, 9494, and 4885/4332 for children. Note that all the various wise men make excellent non-togaed nobles or foreign merchants/princes and so forth. 9373 is also essential - note that you can remove Noah's toga and he looks a right pleb. 3255/5276 less impressive.
In fact you can remove the togas from the regular togaed Roman figures and create more or less serviceable commoners from the denuded klickies - just ignore the gold trim!
That's the main sequence, some more ideas later :roman:

This one qualifies for a Gaulish tramp rather than a Roman plebeian... (He wears trousers.) :no:

Do you think there should be new parts for Roman plebeians? I miss sandals and the short dress. Maybe a variation of the legionaries' legs... (But without the military hangings...)
-
A short skirt for the regular bodies would be good. It could be used for modern people, Scottish kilts, ancient people. With removable legs so you choose between sandals, shoes, boots etc. Short like the Roman legs but a proper skirt instead of a huge gap for sitting on horses.

Uhm.. there are short skirts. Problem is, 99.99% of them have heels. And there are not many different options (caveman boots, cavewoman shoes, bare feet, or those new silver boots from the wizard with the big blue chick)...
I am still looking for someone willing to trade heels for.. well... any other option.

No, there are currently long skirts and medium length skirts. Short skirts would be, well, short. The skirt length used by Roman plebs and others like Greeks and Iberians were no lower than the knee and most were well above the knee, the same is true for kilts.
The skirts you're talking about represent something below the knee, more mid-shin rather than mid-thigh.

Speaking of short skirts, is there a way to detach the shoes from the skirt? I couldn't do it so far. Thanks for the help!

I cut the tab preventing removal (detailed somewhere on the PROCESS)... Rarely the feet do come off without doing that...

I also cut that tab. That stupid tab. :hissyfit: Should come like the (old) long skirts so you can swap out the feet/heels without all the hassle.

Thanks, tahra and Hadoque! Can any of you put a picture of the tool that you are using to do this? Thanks!

I just use a cutter-knife...

Thanks a lot! You should consider to make a separate topic about this!
