RR-01AR – Centurion, Roman Army of the Late Republic | John Jenkins Designs
The centurion was one of the most important professional leaders within the Roman army, standing between the ordinary legionary and the higher command structure.
RR-01AR represents a centurion of the Late Republic, a period of extraordinary military expansion, political upheaval and civil war.
This was the era of commanders such as Marius, Sulla, Pompey and Julius Caesar, when Roman legions fought from Gaul and Spain to Greece, North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean.
Centurions were expected to lead from close to the action, maintain discipline and keep their men organised under extreme pressure. Their experience and authority made them vital to the effectiveness of a legion.
With its red shield variation, RR-01AR provides a strong command figure around which a larger body of Late Republican legionaries can be assembled.
Brand: John Jenkins
