The Glory of Rome
|
The backbone of the Roman
Empire was certainly her Legions. For First Legion's
initial release of Imperial Romans, they presented Legio I
Minerva and Legio VI Victrix. They are now following them up
with Legio I Adiutrix and Legio II Augusta. The new legions
feature unbleached tunics and skirts, Adiutrix with the classic
“wreathe” shield and Augusta with the Eagle on a black shield.
Legio I Adiutrix was formed in 68 AD and took part in a variety
of battles and campaigns including Germanic/Marcomannic Wars
under Marcus Aurelius, the final battle of which was featured in
the opening of the film "Gladiator." Legion II Augusta was one
of the longest serving Legions, formed in the late republic and
serving through the 4th Century most notably participating in
the construction and defense of Hadrian's Wall. Both are are a
wonderful complement to Minerva and Victrix and allow for
dioramas to now feature multiple legions each with a unique look
deployed side by side. |

While the backbone of the Imperial Roman
Army was their heavily armored Infantry Legions, the Romans also
recognized the need for a professional mounted arm as well.
Formed of regiments of non-Citizen Auxiliaries recruited from
the provinces, these cavalry were professional soldiers paid by
the Roman state. Presented here are eight different
figures of the Ala II Flavia, heavily armored in mail and armed
with spears, javelins and swords. With the stunning sculpting
and hand painting that is the hallmark of First Legion, these
figures make a wonderful addition to any Roman toy soldier
collection and stand side by side with the Imperial Roman
Infantry ready to do battle wherever duty may call! |
| While First Legion's first
release of the Praetorian Guard portrayed them marching, this
time they've portrayed them heavily engaged in combat protecting
the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The Roman
Praetorian Guard was the personal bodyguard of the Roman
Emperors. In addition to their political role of being the
strongest armed military force within Rome, they took part in
various campaigns and battles including those of Marcus
Aurelius, as they were at least the equal of any other Roman
Legion in terms of combat effectiveness. Presented here in
striking combat poses, these figures are designed to be fully
engaged with our enemies of Rome. With their imperial purple
colors, black leather lorica segmentata, and photo etched steel
pilum and gladius, this release is the most striking Roman
release First Legion has done for their popular Glory of Rome
figure range. |

| The X Roman Legion, made famous in
Caesar's commentaries, was personally levied by Caesar himself
and as such was his most trusted Legion. They chose the Bull as
their emblem and were known as Equestris because
at one point Caesar had mounted them on the horses of allied
Gallic cavalry to escort him to a peace conference with the
German King Ariovistus. They played a crucial part in Caesar's
Gallic Campaigns fighting in nearly every major engagement. The
Xth Legion is presented here in battle formation heavily engaged
with the enemy be it during on open field battle or manning the
Alesia siegeworks. Lead by Centurion Gaius Crastinus they will
do their duty for Julius Caesar once more! |
| First Legion presents Gallic Warriors
at the Battle of Alesia! Caesar's campaign in Gaul lasted from
58-50 B.C. when the Gallic Tribes, united under their King
Vercingetorix, were decisively defeated at the Battle of Alesia.
The figures presented here can represent any of the various
Gallic Tribes such as the Suebi, Belgae, Nervii, etc... and are
the perfect complement to our Caesarian Romans. Ferociously
presented in their intricate patterns and war paint, these
figures are certainly some of the finest First Legion has
produced and will make an excellent addition to any serious
Roman toy soldier collection. |

The Romans dominated the ancient world for a
period of at least 700 years, first via the Roman Republic and
later under the rule of the Emperors. This fascinating period
of history lends itself extremely well to being faithfully
recreated in miniature and First Legion is turning their full
talents and efforts to bring the Glory that was Ancient Rome to
life. Though, as with all of their ranges, they intend to
cover the period completely and in great detail, their initial
foray will be Imperial Romans and their Ancient German
adversaries doing battle in the 1st and 2nd century AD. Of
course, the figures can be used for a much wider variety of
military conflicts against various enemies such as the Dacians,
Parthians, Gauls, Celts, etc. from the 1st Century AD up to the
period of the Late Roman Empire. What this means is detailed
coverage of not only the Imperial Romans, but their Germanic and
other enemies as well, fully brought to life with the world
class sculpting and painting that has become First Legion's
hallmark. So prepare yourselves for the Roman Empire to rise
once more in spectacularly produced miniature. |
Legio 1 Minerva
|
Legio I Minervia was raised by the Emperor
Domitian in 82 AD for the war against the Germanic Tribes.
This Legion participated in a wide variety of conflicts
including the Dacian Wars under Trajan/Hadrian, the Parthian
Wars under Verus, and the Germanic/Marcomannic Wars under Marcus
Aurelius, the final battle of which was featured in the opening
of the film "Gladiator." Though we are releasing them as Legio
I Minervia, really the figures are suitable as any Roman Legion
between the early 1st century AD through the period of the
Late Roman Empire |
| The Roman Praetorian Guard was the
personal bodyguard of the Roman Emperors. Though the name was in
use for several hundred years before, the formation of the
Praetorian Guard as presented here began with Emperor Augustus.
He selected from among the finest troops across all of the
legions and built up a force of 9 Cohorts which he stationed in
and around Rome. Though in name they were the bodyguard of the
Emperor, the Praetorian Guard played a political role as well as
they were the strongest armed force within the city and thus
were something of a double edged sword to the Emperors which
they protected. In addition, they took part in various campaigns
and battles including those of Marcus Aurelius as they were at
least the equal of any other Roman Legion in terms of combat
effectiveness. Presented here in very flexible marching and
standing poses, these figures can be used both on campaign or in
the confines of their duties in and around Rome. |
|
The city of Rome was the
center of the Ancient World and well ahead of its time. After
Rome fell, there would not be another city to rival it for over
a thousand years. Though the majority of releases for First
Legion's Glory of Rome figure range have been, and will continue
to be, inspired by Rome's wars, they have created these
non-combat figures depicting Roman city life. They hope to add
to it from time to time with depictions of life in the capital
city of one of the world's greatest civilizations |
