Italian Allies
Dated: February 12, 2004.
"Hello ! Here is my little contribution. I chose to send you some pictures of Roman Italian Allies infantry. Of course the coloration is largely hypothetical but I managed to copy some historic reconstructions recently published. My fellow colleagues will reconize my attempt to paint a Samnite soldier of Legio Linteata as described by Livy and other hoplites as they may have appeared at the Battle of Aquilonia in 293 against the Romans."
