About
Hi, I'm Magnus.
I love history, always have. It is literally "The Story". Yes, fictional stories are fun and entertaining, but history is the greatest story of them all which has the benefit of... actually happening! I started this shop with a focus on the Romans because that civilization lasted so unbelievably long (since "Byzantine" is just a modern way of saying "Eastern Roman" or "Late Roman") and touched so many other civilizations.Sometimes I was captivated by a historical character, event, or period, but realized there wasn't much available to showcase it. So that's were I got the idea for this shop - all those (sometimes obscure) stories that deserve to have their place in the light! I come up with the design ideas myself and thoroughly enjoy making them. I hope you do too. If there is an event/figure/period you're looking for but can't find, send me a message and I'll see if I can create it. I also get the bonus of researching this event and getting to enjoy another story.-Magnus
