#621 – Zeno Zigeric

Born in 507 AD in the shadow of Carthage, Zeno is celebrated not for valour in battle but for his deft avoidance of it. A slacker and draft dodger, he shirked military duties, only to be caught in the Byzantine tide that brutally sacked his city. Seized by Belisarius's legions, he was dispatched to the endless hemp fields of North Africa, a punishment he secretly relishes.

About RomanPunks

“It’s AD 410, the Goths are sacking the city of Rome. A rift in the fabric of space-time occurs at the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. Suddenly multiple dimensions collide and coalesce. Time travelers and spacefarers exist alongside terrestrials who had previously lived thousands of years apart. The world is now a fractured patchwork of time and space with Rome at the center of it all. The world is now RomanPunk.”

RomanPunks is a retro-futuristic cyberpunk derivative world-building project, hand-drawn by our brilliant artist and co-founder Cleopunktra and minted as NFTs on the blockchain. We find inspiration from pop culture + science fiction + ancient history + art + technology.

There are only 1,000 RomanPunk ‘avatar’ NFTs created on the Ethereum blockchain, with many more tradable NFTs on carbon neutral blockchains including WAX, Polygon & Algorand.
