History:
In the waning centuries of the Roman Empire, armoured infantry remained a core element of the military structure. Equipped with scale or mail armour, large oval shields, and a mix of spears, swords, and darts, these soldiers adapted to new enemies and changing tactics. As central authority fractured, many Roman soldiers and commanders transitioned into the leaders of post-Roman kingdoms, giving rise to legendary figures such as King Arthur. Meanwhile, Germanic and Gothic tribes began to form powerful confederations, often fighting both alongside and against Roman forces. The diversity and flexibility of Late Roman units reflected this changing landscape, and their legacy continued in the armies of early medieval Europe. This set captures that pivotal moment when history and myth collided, offering a versatile range of figures for any Dark Ages battlefield.
