Roman Centurion with Shield
A ‘favourite’ Centurion reproduction necessary for every Roman Collector to have. His body armour is chain mail, because it's more flexible and stretchable. His sword is worn on the left, the opposite to that of the legionary. When fighting, the Centurion's position was in the front of the battle, leading, encouraging his regiment, and fighting alongside them. Legionary who expected to become a Centurion had to meet several restrictions: having a good social relationships was prerequisite; age must over 30; and must have the ability to read and write. Because of their distinctive costumes, the Centurion's casualties tend to be disproportionate to the total number of casualties. (For example, the famous battle of Pharsalus between Pompey and Caesar, Caesar's legion killed 30 centurions, 8% of the centurions, while soldiers accounted for only 1% of the total number of soldiers killed) .
Limited Edition of 100.
