PR 003 Roman legionary 1

From the first century after Christ, the Roman military team began to undergo gradual changes.

This figure is equipped with the standard panoply of legionaries who participated in the civil wars of the year of the four emperors and which had already been used in the invasion of Britain by Claudius a few years before.

The chain mail has been giving way to the segmented cuirass, articulated piece that allowed a great capacity of movement despite being made with solid pieces of metal.

Its manufacture was faster and cheaper than the ring-bound steel shirt and offered greater protection in the shoulders

The helmet imperial Gallic model, offers much more protection in the posterior and lateral area of the neck than its predecessor of the Montefortino model or its evolution the Coolus.
