Legio III Pia Parthica Serveriana



Another unit for my eastern Roman army. A pseudocomitatensis Legio, raised by the Emperor Lucius Spetimius Severus for his campaign against the Sassanids in 197. After the campaign they were assigned to Mesopotamia with the main barracks at Rhesaena, where they had the duty of securing the main roads and to protect the province. In the 4th century the notitia Dignitatum the legion was stationed at Apatna.

Figures are crusader and the sheilds are hand painted. 



Cheers
Matt

Great stuff, I've always wanted to build this legion. I'm sure you already know this, but A&A have the correct eagle standard at:
