ROM107 - Fighting Optio The Optio was an important non-commissioned officer within the Roman legion, serving as a trusted assistant to the centurion. Responsible for maintaining discipline, supporting commands, and helping organise troops, the Optio played a vital role in keeping the legion effective on campaign. Often recognised by distinctive equipment, including a staff known as the hasta pura, Optios were experienced soldiers who helped maintain order within the ranks.

The figure represents the dedication of the experienced soldiers who helped ensure the success of Roman military operations. A valuable addition to Roman army displays, this figure adds command structure and character alongside legionaries and officers. Available from The Military Workshop, ROM107 highlights the important role of those who led from within the ranks.
