Papo Roman Centurion #39801 Review:

With a breastplate featuring exquisite design work, this centurion immediately draws the eye and commands attention. The helmet (with the plume on the top), is just as impressive. The plume correctly runs side to side - indicating the rank of Centurion.

The centurion's massive shield provides excellent protection in battle, while a flowing red cape on the back adds an air of regal authority. With sword in hand and at the ready, this figure is poised for action and ready to strike fear into the hearts of enemies.

Roman Centurion Information:

The Roman centurion was a professional officer who commanded a century, a unit of 100 soldiers, in the Roman army. They were known for their leadership, bravery, and discipline. Centurions were chosen based on merit and experience, and many rose through the ranks to become high-ranking officers.

Centurions played a crucial role in the Roman military machine, leading their men into battle, organizing their movements on the field, and ensuring their discipline and morale. They were responsible for enforcing discipline and punishing soldiers who disobeyed orders, but were also expected to lead by example and inspire their troops through their own courage and skill.

Centurions wore distinctive armor and carried a sword, a shield, and a staff as symbols of their authority. They were respected by their soldiers and feared by their enemies. The Roman army's reputation for discipline and organization was due in large part to the leadership of its centurions.

In addition to their military duties, centurions also played a role in the administration of the Roman Empire, serving as tax collectors and overseeing public works projects. They were often granted land and other rewards for their service, and many retired wealthy and influential members of Roman society.
