Need a custom design for them, as this one was taken from Google images. @Lion.Kanzen? @wackyserious? Some kind of "Tree of Life" motif could work. Celtic mythology. This one was made from a free vector found online. If you haven't guessed, it's a Roman fasces. Could use a better motif for the Romans if possible. Trying to steer away from the "Roman Eagle" symbol, as that's a bit too stereotypical for me. There have to be other symbols we can use for the Republican Romans, and save the Eagle for a possible Imperial Roman civ. Any ideas @Lion.Kanzen?

I'm open to something else for them, as this lion motif is rather generic (and indeed, I was going to use it for the Thebans in DE instead).

For Romans you can use Luperca (She Wolf or make the goddess Rome) the patron "domina" of the city. Also the pegasus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the trees are important in Celtic religion, the tree of life is also a Christian symbol. There is so much modern and medieval esoterism behind it, it is difficult to know what is genuinely Celtic. 17 hours ago, wowgetoffyourcellphone said: I think the ones with knots seem more authentic, like the 3rd row down, 3rd from the left. Medieval Celtic art is actually the result of Roman and Germanic influences: https://www.archaeologs.com/w/salin-styles/en http://thethegns.blogspot.com/2017/02/art-styles-part-2-migration-animal.html http://thethegns.blogspot.com/2017/04/art-styles-part-3-insular-art.html I would suggest to use native art from the pre-Roman iron age.
