Four legions, two for the Latins in white and two in red at the front - those are the Romans. Complete with supporting cavalry and command figures. |
Each legion comprises 24 Velites, 48 Hastati, 48 Principes, 24 Triarii and a command base of 4 figures: 124 figures per legion. |
That comes to 496 legionaries. I know there should strictly be double the number of Velites, but I couldn't be bothered. Besides, I'd never use that many. |
There are also 24 Roman Equites, 24 Latin Equites and 12 Latin Light Cavalry, for 60 cavalry figures. |
Plus a base of 2 mounted generals for each wing, and another 2 for the overall commander (consul of the day). |
That makes a grand total of 562 figures, in 25mm of course. |
And I'm not finished yet - I want another dozen light horse. I'll order those in August. |
