ROMAN LEGIONAR: PUNIC WARS vs MARIUS & CAESAR'S WARS

 It is interesting to investigate how the uniforms - i.e. the appearance of the Roman legionar changed fron the period of the Punic Wars (III Century b.C.) to the Caesar's period (I Century b.C.). It is also to be pointed out that uniforms were not so "uniform" and variations happened all the time in a slow evolution.


To recreate the evolution of the Roman Army I started from the series "My First Wargame" a real must for papersodiers. I did not know they also published the Roman Army during Punic wars. 





In any case, from an image of this, I increased (at east this is my opinion) the features of the template






From the Caesar's template I did the Punic Wars' template
