Zvezda 8034 Republican Rome Infantry III – II B.C. 1/72

Zvezda 8034 Republican Rome Infantry III – II B.C. 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully recreates the infantry of the Roman Republic from the 3rd to 2nd centuries B.C. The set includes as many as 40 highly detailed soldier and officer figures in 12 different dynamic poses, allowing you to create a realistic battle scene, diorama, or expand your wargaming army collection.

The set depicts Roman soldiers from the Republican period, dating to the late 3rd and early 2nd centuries B.C., a time when the Roman Republican army underwent transformations that enabled it to achieve significant military successes. Soldiers of this era fought during the Second Punic War against Carthage—where figures such as Scipio Africanus achieved notable victories at Zama—as well as during the conquest of Greece and conflicts with various Italic tribes. These formations were known for using mail armor (lorica hamata), large rectangular shields (scutum), gladii, and pila.
