I've recently aquired a few dozen Foundry late Republican/ Caesarian Roman infantry with a mix of plumed/ plumeless helmets. Is there any significance to having a plume or not? Also, the centurions have a mix of double plumes, some in a 'pony tail' arrangement hanging down the back of the helmet, others in 'bunches' to either side. Again, does this have any significance? Thanks! |

Legionaries dressed for battle and would often put a plume on when time permitted. There isn't any significance to the number of plumes that I am aware of, except that centurions sometimes had the double plume. |

At least one legion seems to have been given a nickname – the larks – based on their plume. |
