Roman Legionnaire Sentry in Scale Armor with 1st Minerva Legion shield (Minerva on white background)
Scale armour was used throughout the Imperial era as well as chain mail and Sementa armour.
The D version carries the 1st Minerva Legion shield (the goddess Minerva on a white background).
The 1st Minerva were raised in 82 CE by the Emperor Domitian and were based in Germany. They took part in the Dacian wars under Hadrian and are recorded on Trajan's column. Records still show them being based in Germany in the 4th century, but like many units, their end is not recorded with the disintegration of the Roman empire. Their shield design featured the Goddess Minerva on a white background.
Re-issued in AUGUST 2018.
RETIRED.
LAST ONE!!
