28mm Roman Wargaming miniatures

Canät really go wrong with Romans, many manufacturers of great historical wargaming miniatures, great fun to paint and almost endless possibilities for allies and enemies. The core of my collection are the Caesarian Romans sculpted by Mark Copplestone for Wargames Foundry. So much character in the miniatures, especially the centurions and praetorians. These are complemented with lighter troops sucgh as Cretan Archers and javelin armed light infantry or Gauls or Germans, all from Wargames Foundry. But there are plenty of other manufacturers, Warlord Games, Lucid Eye, Aventine Miniatures, Footsore Games, Gripping Beast and probably many more.
