This gorgeous little chess set package from Manopoulos includes the Small Romans Chess Set, Brass and Red Chess Board, and an attractive wood chess case that holds the pieces and board. Pieces are solid cast zinc that are coper plated with one side finished in a faux blue oxidized coating. Pieces are lacquered to prevent them from ever tarnishing. The chess board is covered in brass with squares that have raised edges. The frame and black squares are painted a beautiful multi-color brown. The wood case is distressed to replicate an old, antique case. The king and queen are represented by Caesar and Caesar's queen. The bishop is a Centurion and the knight a Roman Cavalry soldier. The rook is represented by a Roman column that was prevalent in the architecture during this period. The pawn is a Roman legionary. This chess set based on the history of the Roman military will look spectacular in your home or office.
