ROM012 “Marching Legionary”

        A classic and extremely useful pose this K&C Legionary carries both a large decorated shield and his throwing “Pilus” (Spear).  In addition, his side arms included a “Gladius”, the long fighting sword and the shorter “Pugio” (dagger) for use in close combat situations where the sword was impractical to use.

        As can be seen this regular Roman soldier is wearing the typical Lorica Segmentata armour of the 1^st Century AD.
