Description:

This is a small mod retexturing the Roman faction leaders to look more like their historical counterparts, I included pictures of Arcadius and Honorius for comparison. Arcadius’ outfit was inspired on a depiction from a relief, and Honorius’ outfit was based on a painting of him that I found.

This mod also changes the name of the WRE to "Imperium Romanum" and the ERE to "Basileia Ton Rhomaion", seeing as the Romans in the West (mostly) spoke Latin, and those in the East (mostly) spoke Greek, I renamed the factions to the historical term used by the inhabitants of the Roman Empire when referring to their own state.

Lastly, this mod changes the names of Celtic, Germanic and Graeco-Roman paganism into Celtic, Germanic and Graeco-Roman Polytheism (I always found it extremely strange for a faction to refer to themselves as practicing "paganism", when not viewed from a christian point of view) and changes the names of Latin and Greek christianity to Latin Nicene Christianity and Greek Nicene Christianity. This was done to highlight the fact that there were a variety of christian cults present in the late Roman empire, and even though the West and East differed significantly, they did all adhere to the Nicene Creed. A term which is also less vague than just "christianity" for such a diverse empire and time in history.

NB: I was not able to change the faction leader portraits, so the vanilla emperor’s face will be visible only in the one image used in the family tree.
