I actually prefer the late West Roman period, or East Roman in time of Belisarius and Narses, for the Roman pic. They have for me that association for the piece of that time which is almost possible to emotionally connect with ours.
And vikings didn't look like that, they looked like the better kind of LOTR illustrations.
The third pic - should have the alternative of Austria-Hungary, with all the nice marches and uniforms and their utter inability to actually function as a military.
The fourth pic - again, nice, but I'd prefer to see a bunch of half-naked ashigara with pikes there and a samurai with a bow, and maybe a couple of muskets.
EDIT: and, eh one of these? why not all?
EDIT2: no Egypt? no Nubia? no fscking Athens even?
