History:
Roman auxiliary infantry were drawn from non-citizen provinces and served alongside the legions throughout the Empire. These units provided vital flexibility, often equipped and trained differently than regular legionaries. They were skilled in javelin use, ambush tactics, and irregular terrain warfare. Auxiliaries garrisoned outposts, secured frontiers, and supported in battle with ranged attacks and flanking manoeuvres. Over time, auxiliary service granted Roman citizenship, and many units adopted Roman discipline and appearance while maintaining regional flair. The figures in this set reflect that transitional identity — fierce provincial warriors shaped into the disciplined edge of Rome’s expanding power.
