Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A rugged man in his late twenties, with long dark hair tied back, wearing leather armor reinforced with bronze plates, and wielding a heavy spear decorated with tribal motifs.

Bold and impulsive, Pomponius is fiercely loyal to his men but prone to recklessness in pursuit of victory.

Orphaned during a Roman raid, Pomponius was raised by a Picene warrior who taught him the art of guerrilla warfare. He now leads his own warband, driven by a thirst for vengeance and a desire to protect his homeland.
