Assembly model 1/72 Roman Cavalry Italeri 6028

During the Roman Empire, cavalry played a supporting role. The Roman legion, with its unusually heavy infantry, was the defining element of the battle. In addition, riding a horse and fighting in the saddle was not easy at that time, since the use of stirrups was not yet known. Roman knights were often auxiliaries of the allied population with the task of protecting the sides of the legion's deployment. The soldiers are presented with a hamata lorica and a distinctive oval cavalry shield.
