The recent Berliner Zinnfigur Katalog had a painted set of a Byzantine court group with a bunch of fallen enemies.
I would like more information on the editor and the topic. One emperor was known as the Bulgar Slayer. Is this him?
Cheers

Dear Art,
the Editor of this set is Thomas Körner, aka "Zinnprinzessin" - the set is painted from M. Lother
really fine engraved figures from D. Lepeltier ( I own a set)
The series depicts Emperor Justinian and his court at the end of the Nika-Uprising - the year 532 AD
The emperor known as the Bulgar Slayer was Basileios II. living 958 - 1025 AD
From Basileios II there is a big showcase figure available from Dangelmaier.
