Rome’s Fighting Force

For the Spanish edition of Legionario: El manual del soldado romano by Philip Matyszak, published by Akal España, Tavo was tasked with creating a cover that reflects the book’s immersive perspective on life inside the Roman army. 

To echo that layered experience, Tavo combined original pencil drawings, digital illustration and traditional collage, later mastering the composition in Photoshop.

His collage-driven approach is fitting for a book that explores the mythology, machinery and human experience behind one of history’s most formidable military institutions.
