#8087 Late Roman Heavy (Armored) Infantry
Dated: Sept 1, 2004, updated April 2, 2005.
Box and test shots.
As usual, please note that the test shots are incomplete and unfinished. Test shots are an initial run of the mold after the mold is first put together. It shows the problem areas of the mold, where the plastic is not filling and allows for fine tuning of the mold.
The heavy infantry of this period are quite different from the infantry of the heyday of the Empire. No more do they have the lorica segmentata, rectangular scutum and pilum we are so familiar with. They have now gone back to chain mail, spears and javelins and a huge oval shield. Our future set #8100 of medium and light infantry will complete the infantry of this period.
