Description: 1:72 Roman infantry 1st/2nd century. The legion was the basic unit of the Roman army. Each maniple was commanded by a centurion, who could be recognised by his leg guards, the vine-stick and the helmet with a transverse crest.

Legionnaires of this period wore a lorica hamata, reinforced on the shoulders, and were equipped with semi-rectangular shields. Two throwing pila, the gladius and the pugio (a short dagger) completed their equipment. Content: 1 horseman and 34 figures.
