This is a fantastic project that definitely deserves some attention. It's been easily funded already.
The first deck of the series has already been printed and will be available from the publisher soon. The second deck now up for crowdfunding on Kickstarter was first issued by Cotta in 1806, and features on the court cards well-known figures from classical antiquity, taken from sources such as Greek and Roman plays, as well as the Bible.
They've actually released a video which shows what the cards and tuck box of the published deck will look like:
Once again it's being produced by Will Roya from PlayingCardDecks, in a quality edition printed by United States Playing Card Company. I'm definitely looking forward to having a published version of this in my hands!
