First Legion
First Legion is pleased to present the first of the enemies of
Imperial Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The Ancient Germans were among Imperial Rome’s staunchest adversaries. Though the Romans won many of the Wars, they were never fully able to subjugate Germany the way that they had most of their other enemies. As such, Ancient Germany remained the northern border of the Roman Empire. Throughout the period of late Republic and Empire, there were a series of wars and uneasy truces that would last until the late Empire when the Ancient German tribes were among the many who went on to sack Rome. Though useable throughout the entire period, they are made to represent the Ancient Germans during the Marcomannic Wars between 166 and 180 AD facing off against Marcus Aurelius. These figures are perfect for such tribes as the Marcomanni, the Quadi, and so many others. They will make a wonderful and much needed addition to any serious
Roman hand painted military miniature collection!
The Germanic standard is made to look like a flying wolf's head.
