ROM38 - Roman Cornicen
Music and signals played a vital role within the Roman army, allowing commanders to communicate orders across the chaos of battle. The cornicen, or horn player, used a curved brass instrument known as a cornu to transmit commands, maintain formation, and inspire soldiers during military operations.
Roman legions relied on a wide range of specialists who supported battlefield organisation, and the cornicen held an important position within the ranks. The sound of military horns helped coordinate movements, signal advances, and maintain discipline among thousands of soldiers.
ROM38 - Roman Cornicen depicts a Roman military musician carrying his cornu, dressed in the equipment and uniform associated with a legionary of the imperial period. The figure captures the importance of communication and tradition within one of history’s most organised armies.
Adding variety and personality to any Roman collection, this figure is ideal for creating legion formations, command scenes, or ceremonial displays. Available from The Military Workshop, ROM38 - Roman Cornicen is an excellent choice for collectors wanting to showcase the full character and organisation of the Roman military system.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
