This is my 8th installment of my ongoing 'Muscle&Bronze' project; modern fitness women depicted in ancient times. This picture depicts a Macedonian soldier; a tomb thief, perhaps a deserter of Alexander's army in Egypt, a soldier of fortune, or possibly just a simple opportunist.....you decide. In regards to the 'thief' of this artwork, the subject revolves around an old saying I learned in my years serving in the U.S. Navy.....'there's no such thing a thief, everyone's just trying to get their shit back'.
