PMRR-07Y – Single Princeps #1, Yellow Shield | John Jenkins Designs
The Principes formed the experienced heavy infantry of the Mid-Republican legion and traditionally occupied the second battle line, behind the younger Hastati. By the time of the Punic Wars, they were generally selected more by age and experience than by wealth, making them a veteran element within the Roman formation.
PMRR-07Y represents one of these seasoned soldiers, carrying the distinctive yellow shield variant. The figure is especially useful for collectors building the second line of a manipular Roman army and wanting variation among otherwise similarly equipped troops.
In a larger display, the Principes can be positioned behind a line of Hastati, with centurions, signifers and Triarii completing the layered Roman formation. Mixing the yellow and red shield variants can also add visual variety while keeping the army historically coherent.
Available from The Military Workshop – a distinctive John Jenkins Designs Princeps representing the experienced second line of the Roman army of the Mid Republic.
Brand: John Jenkins
