Vitellius' Praetorian Guard with Pilum
The Praetorian Guard was the elite military corps responsible for protecting the Roman emperor. Its members received specialised training and enjoyed privileges that distinguished them from ordinary legionaries.
During the turbulent year of AD 69, known as the Year of the Four Emperors, the Praetorian Guard played an important role in the struggle for imperial power.
This Toy soldier represents a Praetorian Guardsman serving under Vitellius, armed with a pilum, the characteristic heavy throwing javelin used by Roman infantry before engaging the enemy in close combat.
Particular attention is drawn to his decorated oval shield, together with his metal armour and distinctive Roman Imperial military equipment.
A historical representation of the elite troops involved in one of the most turbulent periods in Roman history.
