Roman Testudo

Set of 24 figures in formation of battle of testudo or turtle commanded by a centurion. In the testudo, the legionaries covered themselves with their scutums overlapping them like a shell, while the first row of men protected the front of the formation with their own, lifting them up to the center of their faces. If necessary, soldiers on the flanks and those in the last row could also cover the sides and back of the formation.

54 mm white metal figures set, assembled with tin solder; some figures may have small pieces of brass or copper. Hand-painted toy soldier with glossy finishment, matt finishment by request. Not contractual photography to being a craftsman product. Hand made produced and painted in Spain.
