ROM005C

ROM005 C: A limited edition of the 9th Legion with Pilum raised following the first rank with black shields for those who missed the first batch of figures from the 30th Legion. The 9th Hispana Legion were based in mainland Europe before moving to Britain following the Roman invasion in AD 43. Sometime after 108 AD the legion disappeared from Roman records with some speculation that they were wiped out in Northern Britain following an incursion into Caledonia. The 9th found fame in the novel 'Eagle of the Ninth' published in 1954 in which the Legion marched into Scotland "never to be heard of again." Limited to 100 pieces worldwide.
