ROM201A – The Washerman (Red Shield) | Thomas Gunn
A campaigning Roman army generated an enormous amount of everyday work. Equipment required maintenance, food had to be prepared, water collected and clothing kept serviceable wherever circumstances allowed.
ROM201A – The Washerman explores this rarely depicted side of the Roman military world.
The figure is shown carrying out washing duties rather than standing in combat equipment waiting for an enemy. It is precisely this kind of ordinary activity that can make a miniature encampment feel believable.
The red shield identifies this as the A variation and allows collectors to coordinate him with ROM200A Water Carrier and other red-shield figures.
Place the Washerman near tents, water containers or other camp personnel and he becomes part of a larger story showing what happened between the battles and marches for which the Roman legions are famous.
Available through The Military Workshop, ROM201A is an unusual and very useful Thomas Gunn figure for anyone developing a detailed Roman encampment.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
