S.P.Q.R
This is the Roman Auxiliary Cavalryman 1st-2nd C. A.D.!
The Roman auxiliary cavalryman was a vital component of the Roman military machine, contributing to the expansive reach and formidable strength of the Roman Empire. These auxiliary cavalry units were comprised of non-citizen soldiers recruited from the various provinces and allied nations under Roman control.
The typical Roman auxiliary cavalryman of this period was known for his adaptability and diverse background. Hailing from regions such as Gaul, Spain, or the eastern provinces, these cavalrymen brought unique skills and combat techniques to the Roman legions. They were often expert horsemen, accustomed to the local breeds and skilled in mounted warfare, which added a dynamic element to the Roman military.
Armed with a variety of weaponry, the Roman auxiliary cavalryman usually wielded a short sword, such as the spatha, for close combat, and a thrusting spear for charges and skirmishes. They were also equipped with a circular or oval-shaped shield, providing them with protection against missile attacks. Additionally, many auxiliary cavalrymen wore segmented armor, such as chainmail or scale armor, for increased defense without compromising mobility.
The Roman auxiliary cavalry served a range of roles on the battlefield, from reconnaissance and skirmishing to shock cavalry charges. Their mobility and versatility made them essential for exploiting weaknesses in enemy formations and pursuing retreating forces. Moreover, their ability to navigate varied terrains, from open fields to rugged landscapes, made them invaluable assets in the diverse theaters of the Roman Empire.
Discipline and training were key aspects of the Roman military ethos, and the auxiliary cavalry underwent rigorous drills to ensure cohesion and effectiveness in battle. This combined arms approach, with the integration of cavalry alongside the renowned Roman legions, exemplified the strategic and tactical prowess that characterized the Roman military during the height of its power in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D.

FAQ
Q: Can I change the scale of the model for more heroic proportions?
A: The proportions will stay the same but the model will appear bigger thus it will resemble a more heroic look. The figure is 75mm to the eyes. To make it 80mm or 85mm to the eyes, you will have to scale the model 106,67% and 113,33% respectively.
Q: My model is smaller when printed why?
A: It is probably because of the resin shrinkage percentage. Make sure to scale the model up according to the resin shrinkage percentage. For example, if the resin shrinks 5%, then you will have to scale the model (all the parts) in the slicer to 105%.
Q: My model appears red when importing in the slicer and it says that there are issues with the topology. Why?
A: This is most likely a glitch since we have already test printed our models multiple times with no issue at all. Joins us on Discord and share your experiences.
