Hail Caesar Roman Kneeling Battleline

Roman legionaries were the backbone of the Roman military, renowned for their discipline, training, and effectiveness in battle. These heavily armed infantry soldiers were typically Roman citizens, organized into legions, each consisting of about 5,000 men. Legionaries underwent rigorous training that emphasized physical fitness, combat skills, and strict adherence to military discipline, making them highly effective on the battlefield.

Equipped with a short sword (gladius), a large rectangular shield (scutum), and body armor such as chainmail or segmented plate (lorica segmentata), legionaries were well-prepared for both offensive and defensive combat. They also carried two javelins (pilum) designed for throwing before closing in with their swords. Their ability to fight in close formation, using their shields to form a protective barrier, was a key tactic known as the testudo, or tortoise formation.

Perfect for the front rank of your Roman units, this pack provides you with eight kneeling Legionaries equipped with slings or with Gladius and Pilum.
