Camulogéne Chief of the Aulerci Gallic confederation

 Aulerci Chieftain Camulogéne 


Camulogéne or Camulogenos was the Gaulois Chief of the Aulerci Federation during Caesar’s conquest of Gaul. He is thought to have lead the first raising of the confederation of the Aulerci (Diablintes, Cenomani and the Eburovices) to fight against the Roman invaders with the Unelli against Caesars Lieutenant Titurius Sabinus 56BC. The Aulerci also sent a army in 56BC to assist the Veneti in Caesars Loire campaign. Finally in 52BC the Aulerci joined Vercingetorix rebellion and Camulogéne lead the confederation with the Parisii against Caesars lieutenant Labienus at the battle of Lutetia, where the Gaulois Federation was defeated and Camulogéne was killed in the fighting. 

Quite happy with my flesh tones although it lost a bit in the varnish process. The 28mm miniature is a converted Warlord Miniature Gallic Druid.

You could have warned me Matt! Straight from a big night at the night club?!
Frightening, as Jonathan said. I'd certainly want my legionary mates beside me if I was on the opposite side...
Regards, James

Great work, Matt.
Talk about "letting it all hang out", though... :-)
