What is the most stylish era of Roman history?

What is the most stylish era of Roman history?

4th and 7th,in my opinion.

>anything but 4

4th and 5th. The 7th one looks like a perisan army

The 4th is the only real roman history seriously

which time periods does each image represent?

Byzzies era is the best

Mostly because they finally ditchet those ugly latin costume ans syarted copying the persian masterrace

7th looks fucking badass

Byzantines.

Wtf why did the shields shrink so much? Low budget?

What game/mod is this?

I always preferred pre-marian, so 2 or 3.

The first shrink (5ft to 3ft) was to make them portable by soldiers on march.
The second shrink (scutum to parma) was to make it usable in skirmish situationsand with spathas.

1-3 or 6-7. 4-5 is overdesigned bullshit.

The martial environment shifting more towards skirmishes than large battles, formation fighting less useful, emphasis on mobility, large shield doesn't help. Shift towards using spears and longer swords again, easier to do with a smaller shield. Some older scholars thought it might have been a budgetary or production issue but I don't really buy that.

2 is the only correct answer

I will personally katana duel anyone who tries to dispute this

HASTATII!

*unsheates montante*
pshhhh...kid

PRINCIPES!

TRIARII!

last one is objectively the best, I'd say 6 though

EQUITES!

URBAN COHORT

(aka OP unit to end all OP units)

It's 3 different versions of Total war Atilla
Vanilla
The Ancient Empire mod which transfers over all the rome 2 models to atilla
And The Medival kingdoms 1212 AD

Is that why the scutums look flat as shit? they dont look that way in TWR2

1. Early Republic circa 500 BC
2. Roman Republic Pre Marian circa 300 - 200 BC
3. Late Republic circa 100 BC - 100 AD
4. Early Imperial circa 50 - 150 AD
5. Imperial circa 200 - 300 AD
6. Late Antiquity circa 350 - 450 AD
7. Byzantine Empire Circa 800 - 1000 AD

Going by your reckoning 1 and 2 should have bigger oval shields and 3 should have silver eagles as their standards.

Nº2 for Triarii phalanx alone

>implying there's a cooler helmet on earth than the Apulo-Corinthian
