Well it looks fairly accurate for the timer period not sure about the Laminata shoulder plates, the helm and the mace though

Comes back to the Arlon relief again (it's been discussed before on RAT). That's not dated to the late Roman period however.

I have some photos of that one, but wasn't it dated to early 1st century? That was a fun trip, Jasper, I hope we can do it again sometime! I bet there was at least one or two museums we missed! :lol:

OK so I'm not crazy. It's not a bad figure otherwise.

Quote:The "historical review" also has the dates wrong Rome wasn't invading Briton in 385 BC.
Doesnt the historical overview state that the soldier was part of a force protecting Britain from
saxon invasion? Pity about the lorica on the shoulders - even if this equipment was worn, it just looks too 2nd century - like its cobbled from an existing set of Imperial period lorica (which of course would not be around or useable then). Otherwise it is a fine figure.

I may just get this model and chop off the Lorica plates. It won't take much work to fill in the gap with green stuff.
