First Legion
First Legion expanded the Age of Rome figure range with enemies of
Imperial Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The Ancient Germans persisted as some of Imperial Rome’s most dogged adversaries. The Romans were victorious in many of the Wars, yet they were never fully able to subjugate the German Tribes the way that they had most of other enemies of Rome. As such, Ancient Germany remained the northern border of the Roman Empire. Throughout the period of the late Republic and into Empire, there were a series of wars and uneasy truces that would last until the late Empire when the Ancient German tribes finally sacked Rome. These
high quality hand painted metal miniatures are useable throughout the entire period, though they are presented as the Ancient Germans during the Marcomannic Wars between 166 and 180 AD facing off against Marcus Aurelius. So these figures are perfect for such tribes as the Marcomanni, the Quadi, and so many others. They can be a wonderful addition to any serious Roman toy soldier collection!
A German Tribal applies some force the old fashioned way--putting the boots to 'im!
