The Roman Optio was historically a key figure in the Roman legions. The rank of optio was awarded to soldiers chosen by the centurion as his assistant — he acted as the deputy commander of the century (centuria) and was responsible for maintaining discipline and issuing orders to the ranks. The Optio was distinguished by a specific helmet with a transverse crest, which made him easily recognizable in battle. Figures of this rank could be seen on many of the key battlefields of the Roman Empire over several centuries — from the late Republic period through the classical imperial era (1st–4th century AD).

The Young Miniatures YH1850 set is made of high-grade resin that perfectly captures the rich style of armor, sculpted details of the cuirass, leather straps, and the characteristic helmet. The set does not include paints or glue, but it is a fantastic base for advanced figure modelers and enthusiasts of historical bust painting. It is excellent as a base for competition painting techniques such as non-metallic metal or true metallics, as well as for precise weathering effects.

We especially recommend this product for advanced modelers (difficulty level 4/5) who value painting challenges and attention to historical accuracy. Collectors of historical busts and fans of Ancient Rome will also appreciate this model. It's a must-have in any collection of historical figures!
