RR-03BW – Optio with White Shield | John Jenkins Designs
Below the centurion in the Roman command structure stood the optio, an important junior officer responsible for helping maintain order within the unit.
RR-03BW – Optio with White Shield represents one of these men from the Late Republican army.
The optio could assist the centurion in controlling the formation and maintaining discipline, making the role particularly important during battle and on campaign.
Adding an optio to a miniature unit provides another layer of command between the ordinary legionaries and their centurion.
With the white shield variation, RR-03BW works naturally among the white-shield soldiers and can be positioned slightly behind the front rank as a figure helping keep the formation together.
Available through The Military Workshop – an excellent John Jenkins Designs junior command figure for adding greater organisation to a Roman legionary unit.
Brand: John Jenkins
