PMRR-07R – Princeps with Sword & Red Shield #1

Within the Roman Republic’s manipular legion, the Principes formed the second major line of heavy infantry. Generally more experienced than the younger Hastati positioned ahead of them, they provided another strong body of troops if the first line failed to decide the battle.

PMRR-07R – Princeps with Sword & Red Shield #1 portrays one of these experienced Roman infantrymen armed for close-quarter combat. Sword drawn and protected by his large red shield, he represents the kind of disciplined heavy infantry upon which Rome increasingly relied as its power expanded throughout Italy and beyond.

Placed alongside other Principes or mixed into a broader formation of Hastati, Triarii and Velites, this figure helps illustrate the layered structure of the Republican Roman legion.

Build the legions of Republican Rome with PMRR-07R, available from The Military Workshop as part of the John Jenkins Mid-Republic range.
