First Legion
To expand the Age of Rome range of
high quality hand painted metal miniatures,
First Legion is pleased to present the enemies of Imperial
Rome, the
Ancient Germans! The Ancient Germans were steadfast opponents of Imperial Rome, though the Romans won many of the Wars. The tribes were never fully subjugated in Germany the way other enemies of Rome were. 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 have presented 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 will make a wonderful and much needed addition to any serious Roman toy soldier collection!
Wearing a scaled mail shirt, this noble of the tribes has acquired a trophy helmet and sword form the hated Romans.
