Glock-18 Royal Legion
Some historians believe that Roman legionnaires were almost forced to decorate their weapons. Like, it’d be too silly to drop or forget a beautiful and expensive blade on the battlefield. Well, it would definitely be a shame to swap Glock-18 Royal Legion for another skin.

Desert Eagle Heirloom
At first glance, there is little antiquity in Desert Eagle Heirloom‘s design. But here’s a fun fact: these golden swirls are inspired by scrolls, look for Rollwerk if you want to learn more about it. In other words, Desert Eagle Heirloom is a weapon made specifically for Roman nobles.

FAMAS Eye of Athena
Athena is a goddess from Greek mythology. However, the Romans adopted it, simply renaming some of the characters. Athena became Minevra while her owl remained in place, as did the title of Goddess of War. FAMAS Eye of Athena looks very cool and epic for an ancient skin in CS2.

M4A1-S Basilisk
One of the first mentions of the basilisk was made by the ancient Roman historian, Pliny the Elder. It’s a dangerous and poisonous snake that can kill silently, with just one glance. M4A1-S Basilisk doesn’t let you kill with a glance, but it’s quite capable of making frags silently.
