About the Item

Bronze Roman War Horse. When someone speaks of the Roman Empire, an initial thought to cross a person’s minds is the magnificent size of her dominions. Because of this vastness, Rome had to maintain an army that was capable of crushing any possibility of rebellion. Similar to the Greeks before Alexander the Great, the Romans relied primarily on its Legiones (army units), the phalanx (close militray formation) and other engines of war for fighting. Horses were mainly used for chariots, light skirmishes and hauling supplies. With so many lands under Rome’s’ control, it’s natural that they would use different types of horses. Particular favorites appear to be the Arabian, the Andalusian, the Camargue, the Dales Pony, the Fell Pony and the Galician Pony. As Rome was a military empire, the horse was an essential element in communications, transport and fighting. That is why the Romans were smart enough not to rely on just one specific breed of horse. The Romans inherited knowledge of horses from the Greeks and amassed a corpus of expertise which covered the best types of horses to employ the most effective tackle and training methods to use, and the most effective veterinary practices. Stallions from Parthia, Persia, Media, Armenia, Cappadocia, Hispania and Libya were the most prized. Preferring larger animals like this particular sculpture, horses were also selected for their temperament, stamina, and resistance to extreme environments and food deprivation. Training ensured horses became used to group charges, flashing weapons, battle noises and strange animals such as elephants which the enemy might field. Size - Height: 19 inches Width: 24 inches.
