15mm Ancients, Republican Romans

Rome was made great by the conquests of the army of the Roman Republic. After the disaster suffered at the Battle of the Allia in 386BC against the Celts, the Romans realised that the hoplite phalanx was of little use against such fast moving and nimble opponents. Their response was to develop the Legion, an independant division of around 5,000 men. The troops were drawn up in multiple lines of Histati, Pricepes and Triari which allowed all their soldiers to engage in combat. The legionary was primarily an armoured swordsman but he also carried two heavy javelins(Pilum) which he cast prior to contact with the enemy. The bulk of the legion was composed of these heavy infantry, but a proportion was dedicated to light troops (Velites). The Roman Republican legion as formed by Camillus also fielded 300 cavalry, but these were usually all brigaded together on the wings of the army. Each year, both consuls were given a 'consular army' of 4 legions to command, 2 of the legions being composed of Latin troops, the other 2 of allies.
