>anything but 4

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

>>1587169
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.

>>1587420
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.

>>1587169
1-3 or 6-7. 4-5 is overdesigned bullshit.

>>1587420
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

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