ROMAN LEGION - PUNIC WARS: PROJECT AND NUMBERS

 I have always wondered how many paper soldiers (of a good level, so from 2015 to today) I have produced. The projects that I started and did not complete (all of them) are the following:

- Battle of Leuthen

- Battle of Turin

- Third Battle of Ramla

- Battle of Santa Lucia

- Roman Legion

- Battle of Dogali

- Battle of Lodz

- Battle of Custoza

- Battle of Lutzen

- Battle of Madonna dell'Olmo

- Battle of Pusan

- Battle of Austerlitz

- Battle of Schellenberg

- Battle of Halmstad

So it is quite a number of Battles and a lot of papersoldiers. I will try to sum them up. I already started with the Battle of Ramla, and here I would like to count the Roman Legion.

It was on 4 categories of men

Velites 

Hastati (20 centuries, i.e. 10 maniples 1200 men in total)

Princeps (20 centuries, i.e. 10 maniples 1200 men in total)

Triari (10 centuries, i.e. 600 men in total)

Every century of Hastati and Princeps had the first 2 rows launching pilum (spears) so every century is done by 40 men with gladium (sword) and 20 with pilum. 

Total 

200 Hastati (red feathers) with gladium + 100 Hastati (red feathers) with pilum

200 Hastati (black feathers) with gladium + 100 Hastati (black feathers) with pilum

200 Princeps (red feathers) with gladium + 100 Princeps (red feathers) with pilum

200 Princeps (black feathers) with gladium + 100 Princeps (black feathers) with pilum

300 Triari with horizontal spears

300 Triari with vertical spears
