First Legion
First Legion added to the Age of Rome range with the first wave of the enemies for
Imperial Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The Ancient Germans were among Imperial Rome’s most tenacious adversaries. The Romans managed to win many of the Wars, yet they were never able to fully subjugate Germania. As such, Ancient Germany remained the northern border of the Roman Empire. Throughout the period of late Republic and Empire, a series of wars and uneasy truces defined the relations with Germania and would last until the late Empire when the Ancient German tribes, among others, went on to sack Rome. These
hand painted military miniatures are suitable for displays throughout the entire period. First Legion has designed these figures to be 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 make a wonderful and much needed addition to any serious Roman toy soldier collection!
