First Legion presents
high quality hand painted military miniatures of the enemies of Imperial
Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The tribes of Germania were united in only one thing: their opposition to Imperial Rome. Though the Romans won many of the Wars against the Tribes, they were never fully able to subjugate Germany. As such, Ancient Germany remained the northern border of the Roman Empire. During the period of late Republic and into the Empire, there were a series of wars and fragile truces, which lasted until the late Empire when the Ancient German tribes finally sacked a weak Rome. Though useable throughout the entire period, these figures are perfect for such tribes as the Marcomanni, the Quadi, and so many others; the Ancient Germans during the Marcomannic Wars between 166 and 180 AD facing off against Marcus Aurelius. They will make a wonderful addition to any serious Roman toy soldier collection!
The helm he wears was likely pulled off the head he holds.
