HMRR-08R – Hastatus – Red Shield
The moment immediately before Roman infantry closed with an enemy could be decisive.
The pilum, associated closely with Roman heavy infantry, was intended to be thrown at relatively short range before the soldiers drew their swords and moved into close combat. Its weight and penetrating power made it a dangerous weapon against both men and shields.
HMRR-08R – Hastatus adds another red-shielded warrior to the John Jenkins Designs Mid-Republican range.
His individual pose allows collectors to create a battle line showing different stages of action rather than every soldier performing exactly the same movement.
Combine him with HMRR-07R, HMRR-09R and the larger red-shield sets, with command personnel positioned among or behind the formation.
The result can represent a Roman manipular unit moments before contact with Samnite, Carthaginian or other ancient opponents.
Available through The Military Workshop – another highly useful John Jenkins Designs Hastatus adding variety and movement to the red-shielded Republican Roman ranks.
