PMRR-08R – Single Princeps #2, Red Shield | John Jenkins Designs
The Principes were the heavier, more experienced infantry of the Roman manipular legion and traditionally formed the second battle line, positioned behind the Hastati. If the younger Hastati failed to break the enemy, they could fall back and allow the Principes to continue the fight.
By the period of the Punic Wars, the Principes were generally organised according to age and experience rather than wealth, representing seasoned soldiers who provided the Roman battle line with added strength and resilience. Behind them stood the veteran Triarii, forming the final line of the traditional formation.
PMRR-08R represents one of these experienced soldiers carrying the red shield variation. It is particularly useful for collectors building the second line of a Mid-Republic Roman force, especially when combined with the other Princeps poses and matching red-shield figures.
Available from The Military Workshop – a distinctive John Jenkins Designs Princeps representing the experienced second line of the Roman Army of the Mid Republic.
