Capt. Redblade Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Well, if I have my info right, Playmobil currently has a Roman theme and it's been a success thus far. So, with that said, I'd like to a Roman warship with some enemies of some sort. Quote
CastleLord Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I think they should make a fort some soldiers maybe a house or a barracks. Oh and i found this polish clone brand that's got a product line called Romans & Barbarians. Here's a link: Linky CastleLord. Quote

Here's a link: Linky CastleLord. Great find, CastleLord! Of course these sets need to be some improvement (the war vehicles partly look a bit unrealistic, there is no emperor and even no other civilian minifigs and nearly no civilian building). But nevertheless the most of these sets are even ideas for sets I hope TLG will offer to us in the next years! Klaus-Dieter Quote

Emperor Claudius Rome Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I would like a small roman siege weapon of some sort with 2 romans operating it Quote
LEGOMAN132 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Look even Best lock has Romans why not Lego? Quote
Hound Knight Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Look even Best lock has Romans why not Lego? H'm, I do like the design of that galley, I might have to replicate it in LEGO (and using BrickForge Roman accessories of course!). Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Look even Best lock has Romans why not Lego? I still can't stop laughing when I see Best Lock (COBI in Poland) sets... Why, You ask? Romans had Rocket Launchers! That's why they win! Quote
Hound Knight Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Romans had Rocket Launchers! That's why they win! Hah! I knew it! Quote
Tom Bricks Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I find it strange that so many people want roman sets but I have only seen one Roman MOC. I personally would like a coliseum in the style of Taj Mahal, an impulse set for romans and barbarians, and something like a Roman MMV with an aqueduct, food stands, and some kind of building. Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 another idea: Patrol Ambush. It could include 2 legionairies, 2 Barbarians, a rock were the barbarians stand, some rock flinging machine for the Barbarians, 3 spears, 2 roman shields, 1 barbarian shield, an axe, a longsword, 2 trees, a cart, and treasure.

Klaus-Dieter Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Limes 40 Euros Defend the boarder of the Roman Empire! - a wall piece - a wall piece with a gate - a watch tower (first floor: entrance and weapons chamber, second floor: little recreation room and canopied balcony around the whole tower) including a barrel, a chicken leg, two tumblers, two horses, a torch, many weapons minifigs: centurion, two legionnaires, two barbarians Roman Implse Set 3 Euros Enlarge your Roman army! including a rucksack with two holders (in order to annex something), a buckler, a lance, a sword and a shovel minifig: legionnaire Barbarian Impulse Set 3 Euros Enlarge your Barbarian army! including a round buckler, a battleaxe, a sword and a conifer minifig: barbarian Klaus-Dieter Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I'm not an expert with Roman terms Klaus. Could you explain some what a Limes, tumblers, rucksack, buckler, and a conifer are Please. Quote
Hound Knight Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I'm not an expert with Roman terms Klaus. Could you explain some what a Limes, tumblers, rucksack, buckler, and a conifer are Please. Limes I know not. Tumblers are large drinking glasses, a rucksack is a soldier's pack, a buckler is a small round shield, and a conifer is a pine tree. Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Roman battle cart: Includes one standard legionaire, one Special legionaire, one barbarian, a battle chariot, 3 spears, a whip, a horse, a long-axe and a carrot Quote
BlueBard Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Actually barbarian was the Latin word for "foreigner" so anyone who wasn't Italian was a "barbarian". I also would very much like to see Roman/ ancient world themed sets of any kind. Actually the word is not at all latin but greek. The meaning is "the ones who doesn't speak well (the greek)" or "the ones who mumble" so, as you say "foreigner". As many many words it passed into the "standard" latin but for the romans (and remember roman doesn't means necessarily italian. For example Trajan was originally from Hispania and became emperor) of the imperial era "barbarian" had more or less the modern meaning of the term : "uncivilized". Persians, for example, were not part of Rome and they were not considered barbarians at all! Quote

RepublicForces Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 senator house 1 senator,1 senator's wife, 2 guards, 3 slaves, Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Roman Galley: Includes a roman boat with 6 oars, 3 roman legionarys, 2 centurions, one special soldier, the general, a barbarian, his dingy, 6 roman shields, 4 spears, 2 shorst swords, a standard, and a chrome long-sword. The boat also has a catapult, a tent, and a ram on the front Quote

Tumblers are large drinking glasses, a rucksack is a soldier's pack, a buckler is a small round shield, and a conifer is a pine tree. Thanks, Hound Knight. @ Emperor claduis rome: The Limes was the boarder between the northern part of the Roman Empire (today's South and Middle Germany) and the area where German tribes lived (today's North Germany). It consisted in its early time of palisades and watch towers made out of wood, later of walls and watch towers made of stone. Here is a new set idea: Battle of the Teutoburg Forest 40-50 Euros Play the battle between the Roman legionnaires and the barbarians! Let the legionnaires pass the dark track with the swamp on the one side and the rocks on the other side! Suddenly the barbarians jump out of their hide-out. Who will win - the Romans or the barbarians? a landscape with a track in the middle, a swamp with some scrubs and trees on the left side and some rocks on the right side including a lot of weapons (no war machines such as catapults etc.!) minifigs: centurion, two legionnairs, barbarian chief, two barbarians Klaus-Dieter Edited July 4, 2009 by Klaus-Dieter Quote

I'm not sure why though. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) For some reason I think the Barbarians will win.... I'm not sure why though. Really?! But I don't think that the main audience of possible Roman sets (supposably kids between 5 and maximum 10 years old) would know that! The question is even: Wouldn't it disturb the fantasy and play experience of kids if you already before they start playing tell them how they have to play and how the battle has to end? Perhaps I better should have chosen a neutral name - but a name of a historical battle sounds never bad (especially when you're studying history)!

Klaus-Dieter I guess so... it just seems a bit limiting for a set. On the other hand if someone were to build a MOC of the Teutoberg forest... Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I hope that lego will give us the romans in 2010 Quote
