The Dark Ages of europe = The Golden Ages of Arabs & Muslims - YouTube is a good watch, Not sure its original source but it looks like a education program about the Arabic golden age that ran alongside the dark ages in europe

12 obviously looks roman or greek

[JJonas]

This is a guess obtained through a google search of "greek scientist scroll robe"

Thank you for setting it. Will there be any more?

I'd love to. I had a bit of free time before Christmas. Originally I was going for 101 scientists, then I revised down to 26, then to 16 because it was taking too long to make them!

Hopefully I'll have more freelance illustration work in the new year, but if not then I might do some more!

Was pondering using the characters in a book, or perhaps looking at getting little collectable figures made, although I'm not sure there would be enough interest!
