The Roman armies of the Republic were never particularly known for their cavalry, but with the expansions to their infantry in recent years, the cavalry arm was in serious need of reinforcements.
Thus we have these fellows kicking off Roman Month on the blog. SPQR!
The Command figures are Crusader and the rank and file are Old Glory Roman Medium Cavalry.
Watch out for those sneaky Numidians!
The view the Carthaginian Cavalry usually has of the Roman mounted arm!
Great looking mounted Romans, Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dean. This months offerings will be nearly exclusively mounted!
DeleteStarting off the month with Romans exactly as promised. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. Plenty more Romans to come this month!
DeleteVery nice work Peter. I'm thoroughly enjoying your latest parade of Ancients.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying them; your own are spectacular in number and quality!
DeleteLovely looking cavalry, nice start to Roman month!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cue "The Fountains of Rome"...

ReplyDeleteYes, Gary, Punic Wars era
DeleteNice job on these!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alan!
DeleteThanks, Michal!
ReplyDeleteWhat? No elephants? Trajan had elephants!
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Romans didn't employ Elephants. However, they became quite adept at defeating them, the battle of Zama in [articular being a case in point!
Delete(My Carthaginian army has 8 elephants, though!)
