  Roman Draco, Cavalry Dragon Standard

  SKU: AH6799

  The draco, a dragon or serpent standard of the Roman cavalry, was carried by an officer known as the draconarius, serving the cohort much as the aquila served the whole legion.

  Adopted into Roman use from Sarmatian and Dacian cavalry by the 2nd century AD, the draco’s metal head and windsock-like fabric body caught the air as a rider moved, creating both a striking visual display and a genuinely intimidating hissing sound on the battlefield. By the 4th century, Vegetius records that each legionary cohort had its own draco.

  This reproduction recreates that dramatic late Roman cavalry standard, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Legionary Eagle (Aquila)

  SKU: AH6729

  The aquila, the golden eagle standard of a Roman legion, carried genuine quasi-religious importance for the ordinary soldier, representing the Eagle of Jove and the collective honour of the entire legion.

  Carried by a legionary known as the aquilifer, the aquila’s loss was considered so shameful that Rome went to extraordinary lengths to recover one if lost, most famously spending decades retaliating after the Teutoburg Forest disaster of 9 AD cost three legions their eagles. No genuine legionary aquila is known to survive today.

  This reproduction recreates that supreme Roman legionary emblem, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Legionary Eagle (Aquila), Brass, Tin-Coated

  SKU: AH6729NP

  The aquila, the golden eagle standard of a Roman legion, carried genuine quasi-religious importance for the ordinary soldier, representing the Eagle of Jove and the collective honour of the entire legion.

  Carried by a legionary known as the aquilifer and normally leaving camp only when the whole legion marched, losing the aquila was considered so shameful that Rome went to extraordinary lengths to recover one if lost — spending decades retaliating after three eagles fell into Germanic hands following the Teutoburg Forest disaster of 9 AD. No genuine legionary aquila is known to survive today.

  This reproduction is cast in brass and tin-coated, comes without pole, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Tuba, Bronze Military Horn

  SKU: AH3870T

  The tuba was a long, straight bronze trumpet used by the Roman military for signalling, distinct from the curved cornu, and together these instruments relayed orders across the noise and chaos of a Roman battlefield.

  Unlike the cornu’s coiled G-shape, the tuba’s long straight form produced a genuinely different tone, and Roman sources describe both instruments working together, sounded by trumpeters known as tubicines, to issue commands too complex for voice alone to carry reliably.

  This reproduction is hand-made in metal, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Leather Bag (Pera/Loculus)

  SKU: AH3988

  This leather bag recreates the loculus, a satchel or bag known as a pera carried by Roman legionaries for personal effects and supplies on the march.

  A soldier’s loculus needed to be genuinely durable and roomy enough to carry days of rations and personal kit alongside his weapons and armour, an essential piece of everyday legionary equipment rather than a purely decorative accessory.

  This reproduction measures 40 x 32 x 9cm (16″ x 13″ x 3″) and weighs approximately 1.5kg (3 lbs), part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Situla, Tinned Brass

  SKU: AH3982S

  This newly redesigned Roman cooking and eating bowl is based on numerous archaeological examples, manufactured from fairly heavy brass with a tinned interior to keep food away from the unpleasant taste and health effects of bare brass or bronze.

  The situla served genuinely everyday purposes in Roman kitchens and at camp, used for cooking, eating, and general food storage, with tinning representing a real practical refinement documented in surviving Roman kitchenware.

  This reproduction recreates that practical Roman vessel, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Roman Writing Tablet with Bronze Stylus

  SKU: AH3989

  This Roman writing tablet consists of two hollowed-out beechwood frames hinged together and filled with beeswax, complete with a bronze stylus and smoother.

  Wax tablets of this kind served as the everyday notepad of the Roman world, used for correspondence, accounts, and school lessons, since the wax surface could be smoothed flat with the broad end of the stylus and reused indefinitely, unlike costlier papyrus or parchment.

  This reproduction measures 5 by 8 inches, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Praetorian Guard Standard

  SKU: AH3509

  This standard is styled after the type carried by the Praetorian Guard, Rome’s elite imperial bodyguard, worked in carbon steel.

  Roman standards served a genuinely practical purpose beyond symbolism, acting as a rallying point in the chaos of battle and a means of relaying commands, with a trumpet blast drawing troops’ attention to whatever direction the standard indicated.

  This reproduction recreates that elite Praetorian standard form, part of our Roman heritage range.

  Retiarius Gladiator Equipment, Metal

  SKU: AH6263

  The retiarius, or “net fighter,” was among the most distinctive classes of Roman gladiator, fighting with a weighted net, trident, and dagger rather than the sword and shield of most other gladiator types.

  Unusually for a gladiator, the retiarius fought without a helmet and with minimal armour, relying on speed and evasion rather than heavy protection, typically pitted against a more heavily armoured secutor in a genuinely dramatic mismatch of styles that Roman audiences found compelling.

  This reproduction is worked in metal, part of our Roman heritage range.
