First Legion
First Legion, known for
high quality hand painted military miniatures, introduces the first of the enemy releases for
Imperial Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The Ancient Germans were among Imperial Rome’s most resolute foes. The Romans emerged victorious from many of the Wars, yet were never able to completely subjugate Germany the way that they had elsewhere. Ancient Germany remained the northern border of the Roman Empire due to this persistent resistance. During the late Republic and Empire, there were wars and uneasy truces that would last until the late Empire when the Ancient German tribes finally sacked Rome. These figures are useable throughout the entire period, but they were designed by First Legion to represent the Ancient Germans during the Marcomannic Wars between 166 and 180 AD facing off against Marcus Aurelius. They are perfect for such tribes as the Marcomanni, the Quadi, and many others. Any serious Roman toy soldier collection needs the tribes of Germania!
Charging into the Roman lines, this warrior is ready to fight.
