The Roman legion soldier stands in full ancient regalia. Upon his head he wears
a galea which was a soldiers helmet made of bronze. He wears a metal armor
around his torso over the knee-length tunic. A paludamentum falls down his back,
which is a cloak fastened to the shoulders usually worn by military commanders.
At his feet are caligae which were heavy-soled sandals. His Right hand holds a
spear against the ground as he looks far off into the distance. The handmade
bronze sculpture was molded using the ancient method of lost-wax casting and
stained with a green patina finish for preservation. It is mounted upon a
variegated black marble base and is signed E.Drouot.
