Having completed my first legion of Agema Republican Romans, I've made a start on the second. I wanted these to look distinct from the first, but for the 'regulars' to somehow look part of the same army. I'm working on a belief that a limited shared palette is the key here.
I think when I get around to the Latin Alae, these will have a more irregular appearance, even if they share the organisation of the two legions.
Anyway, I took a bit of a punt and decided to have a go at basically swapping the tunic and shield colours from the first legion.. ie these are going to have red tunics and buff shields.
First unit of Hastatii done today and I like the look of these, I think they'll stand very well next to the first.
