Description: 1:72 Roman infantry from the 1st/2nd century. The legion was the basic unit of the Roman army. Each manipulus was commanded by a centurion, identifiable by his greaves, vine staff, and helmet with a transverse crest. The equipment of the legion after the Marian reforms was standardized and issued by the state. Legionaries of this period wore a lorica hamata, reinforced at the shoulders, and were equipped with semi-rectangular shields. Two throwing pila, the gladius, and the pugio (a short dagger) completed their gear. Contents: 1 cavalryman and 34 figures.
