Republican Roman Legionaries

These figure represent Roman legionaries and light infantry (‘Velites’), of the mid Republic Era of Roman expansion and dominion (roughly 350 BC through until approximately 168 BC). They are suitable for the numerous wars fought during this period against the Gauls of Northern Italy, the Etruscans in the North and the Samnites in the South of Italy, the short but bloody war against King Pyrrhos of Epirus, the Punic Wars against Carthage, the Macedonian / Seleucid Wars against King Phillip V, his son King Perseus, and the Seleucid Monarch Antiochus The Great, as well as the wars in Iberia and the conquests of Sicily and Sardinia.
