Whether your young Roman (age III and
up) is battling against Hannibal's forces at Cannae, standing guard at the Coliseum, or fighting off enemy
invaders in your backyard, he won't want to be
caught without his Roman Armour Set (wear a dark red
shirt under the armour for an authentic look).
Fashioned from durable, lightweight
plastic, this set of armor comes complete with helmet, shield,
and chest plate, and a sword and axe to do battle with. Chest
plate and shield feature silver plastic medallions with the
Roman legionary eagle; the entire set is designed with
realistic styling and decoration. The legionary eagle is also
engraved on the helmet. Armor is easy to put on, and two
rubber arm straps hold the chest plate in place. Strap the
shield to either forearm by putting your arm through two
plastic loops on the back of the shield. When on the
offensive, you can choose either the sword (30 inches long) or
the battle-ax (29 inches long) to attack with. Both weapons
are lightweight and have no sharp
edges.

Your little Egypt (age XXVI months to
VIII years) can play Cleopatra to Julius Caesar in this long,
golden tube dress, which slips over the head, tying at
the neck around a regal, multicolored collar. The thin blue
cape, split into two gold-trimmed wings, straps around the
arms with broad elastic gathers. Costume is in the style of
Isis, gentle mother goddess of all Egypt.

Caesar stands proudly (all 2.5 inches of him) on his sturdy
base, and his three die-cast metal legionnaires are ready to
protect both him and Rome with spears and swords. Figures are
intricately detailed and the metal is tough, but attached
plastic weapons will not withstand vigorous play. The
collector or the gamester won't mind handling them carefully,
but small children will find this restriction frustrating.

Build your own empire stone by stone with this beautifully
illustrated sim game. Caesar III is a city-building and
management simulation that transports players back to ancient
Rome, letting them live the life of a provincial governor.
It's your job to create an environment that will attract
citizens, keep those people fed and supplied with fresh water,
and defend the city walls from jealous and greedy enemies. As
if that's not enough, you also have to meet the demands of
your caesar or face... dismissal.
