Roman Pilani (proto-Triarii) for Dux Italica

The last infantry for the core Roman/Latin force for my Dux Britanniarum adaptation, Dux Italica. These are Pilani, the wealthiest infantry in the army. They can afford the most expensive hoplite equipment and armour, although some are beginning to transition to the sputum rather than use the traditional aspis. They fought in an open-order phalanx in the style of the early Greeks (8th-6th century) rather than the close-order classical Greek phalanx of the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars. 

They are led by a Tribune.

All models from Victrix with LBM shield transfers.
