ROM200A – The Water Carrier (Red Shield) | Thomas Gunn

Away from the battlefield, a Roman legion was a vast working community. Thousands of soldiers needed water for drinking, cooking, washing and countless other everyday tasks, making a reliable water supply essential wherever an army established camp.

ROM200A – The Water Carrier portrays a Roman soldier carrying out one of these routine but vital duties. Rather than another legionary advancing with sword or pilum, this figure shows the practical side of military life that allowed Rome's armies to function day after day.

This A version carries a red shield, adding a strong splash of colour and allowing it to be matched with other red-shielded Romans in the Thomas Gunn range. The soldier's working pose makes him particularly suitable for placement around tents, cooking areas, stores or other camp accessories.

For collectors creating a substantial Roman encampment, figures such as the Water Carrier help make the scene feel occupied and active rather than simply displaying soldiers waiting for battle.

Available from The Military Workshop – an excellent Thomas Gunn figure for bringing the everyday workings of a Roman legionary camp to life.
