Britons / Arthurians - Ideal as troops loyal to the Roman Way once the Empire had retreated from Britain. These Romano-British warriors represent the continuation of Roman military tradition in the Dark Ages, when local leaders and warbands carried on fighting in the style of the old imperial legions. These are the men who would have fought side-by-side with Arthur and the other great heroes of post-Roman Britain, as they tried to halt the expansion of the Saxon kingdoms and defend the surviving Romano-British territories.They also faced constant pressure from raiding Scots, Picts, and Irish across Britain’s fractured frontiers. In this turbulent period, warfare was a struggle for survival, where Roman discipline, local warbands, and emerging kingship all blended into one. Perfect for representing Arthurian legends, Romano-British armies, or Early Medieval Dark Ages forces in historical wargaming.
