MRR-01 – Roman Mid-Republic Infantryman #1 | John Jenkins Designs
Long before the professional legions of the Roman Empire, the armies of the Roman Republic fought their way to dominance across the Italian peninsula and eventually throughout the Mediterranean.
MRR-01 – Roman Mid-Republic Infantryman #1 represents a soldier from this earlier and fascinating stage of Roman military development.
During the Middle Republic, Roman armies were still closely connected to the citizen body. Military service was an obligation of eligible citizens, and the army that fought Rome's wars differed in important ways from the later imperial legion familiar to many collectors.
The period encompassed some of Rome's most important struggles, including wars against the Samnites, Pyrrhus of Epirus and Carthage.
MRR-01 makes an excellent foundation figure for a Republican Roman force and can be combined with the wider MRR range to show Rome before the age of Caesar and Augustus.
Available from The Military Workshop – a superb John Jenkins Designs figure representing the soldiers who built Rome's power during the Republic.
