Roman Cornicen

Posted by Konrad on 12 Aug 2017, 17:08

A cornicen (plural cornicines) was a junior officer in the Roman Army. The cornicen's job was to signal salutes to officers and sound orders to the legions. The cornicines played the cornu (making him an aeneator). Cornicines always marched at the head of the centuries, with the tesserary and the signifer. The cornicines were also used as assistants to a centurion (like an optio). The cornicen was a duplicary or a soldier who got double the basic pay of the legionary.

Fig from "ST.GEORGE'S CROSS"

Hope you enjoy!

Wonderfully painted figure, and the face of the lion is perfect.

I am not familiar with this manufacturer. 54 mm?

Whatever scale, it is very well done.
