Julius Caesar Mugs
Description: The elephant of Legio V Alaudae stands above the compact LEG V ALAUDAE inscription in dark earth pigment. Its emblem recalls the legion’s celebrated stand against enemy elephants at Thapsus in 46 BCE. Irregular contours and worn gaps give this original period-inspired illustration the character of an ancient hand-painted military mark rather than a polished modern crest. It is a historical interpretation, not an exact reconstruction of a surviving standard. The transparent background lets the product color show through; dark umber ink reads best on light colors.
Description: The classical Latin motto ALEA IACTA EST ("The die is cast"), famously attributed to Julius Caesar at the crossing of the Rubicon in 49 BC, arches above an imperial Roman Aquila eagle perched on a thunderbolt bar over a pair of ancient Roman cubic dice (tesserae), framed by an open laurel wreath with S·P·Q·R below.
Description: Ancient Rome and SPQR was one of the greatest empires in classical history, producing many great men such as Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, emperor Augustus, Trajan, Hadrian, and great philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. Roma Invicta! Our Roman Republic SPQR designs are for history students, teachers, classics and classical studies majors and all who love Ancient Rome and history of the Roman Empire. Relive the glory and achievements of Rome with this Ancient Rome SPQR design.
Description: Nero fiddled is a common saying, meaning to do something trivial and irresponsible in the midst of an emergency. Legend has it that while a fire destroyed the city of Rome, the emperor Nero played his cithara, a stringed instrument like a lyre, which was perhaps replaced by the more universally recognized word 'fiddle', and thus revealing his total lack of concern for his people and his empire.
Description: "A highly detailed, vintage-style Roman Aquila legionary war eagle emblem with a weathered dark brass SPQR plaque and thunderbolts. Inspired by off duty tunics from Rome miniseries. Perfect for ancient history buffs, classicists, military historians, reenactors, larpers, and cosplayers."
