Description
By the first decades of the 1st century, the cohort had replaced the maniple as the standard tactical unit of the legions. The three lines of the manipular legion were combined to form the cohort, which generally numbered about 480 to 500 men. Maniples and centuriae continued to be used to as military and administrative subdivisions for the cohort. There were six centuriae in a cohort, which were now all 80-men strong. The legion was now composed of ten cohorts rather than thirty maniples, and numbered an average of about 5,000 men. The legionaries no longer needed to provide their own equipment and were now all equipped and organized as heavy infantry with pilum and gladius.
Set consists of 15 fine 3D-printed 1:600th/3mm scale miniatures. Models are sold with print supports and need side-cutters and hobby knife to remove them.
