Romans - work in progress

My late Principate Roman 'army' as it stands this morning.  I was trying to decide what to paint next, so I had the boxes of figures out, and thought I'd take a quick snapshot of them and the Sassanids - see the next page for them!

Still to do for the Romans: a cohort of legionaries; a (milliary) cohort of auxilia; an ala of cavalry. I may also do some dromedarii and turn one of the auxiliary cohorts into a cohors equitata (mixed cohort) by adding a few cavalry (more for the look of the thing than for any real wargaming reason). A few Palmyrene archers wouldn't go amiss either - there seems to have been a numerus of them involved in the defence of Dura Europos circa AD260.
