ROM171B - Praetorian Thrusting Pilum - Silver Pattern Shield
The Praetorian Guard was one of the most recognisable military units of the Roman Empire, combining battlefield skill with the important role of protecting the emperor. Their distinctive appearance and elite status made them a symbol of Roman power and authority throughout the imperial period.
Roman infantry tactics relied heavily on disciplined formations and the effective use of weapons such as the pilum. Once thrown or used at close range, the pilum helped Roman soldiers break enemy lines and create openings for the short sword, the gladius, to be used in close combat.
ROM171B - Praetorian Thrusting Pilum - Silver Pattern Shield captures a Praetorian soldier in the midst of combat, driving forward with his pilum while carrying an intricately decorated silver-patterned shield. The aggressive pose highlights the determination and training of these elite warriors.
This figure brings movement and battlefield energy to any ancient collection, making it ideal for creating Roman formations, combat scenes, or displays featuring the imperial guard. Available from The Military Workshop, ROM171B offers collectors a detailed representation of the soldiers who stood at the centre of Roman power.
