Philip of Macedonia

 

This is the figure of Philip of Macedonia that appeared as part of the Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars range as PBP 2 - for 'Phil Barker Personalities'. 

The model is not taken from the book despite the code designation, but forms part of a small range of 'general' figures.

The figure appears in the Miniature Figurines 72/73 catalogue and the 75 catalogue under the same code. 

Unlike the troopers in this range, the base doesn't carry the code number, and instead is stamped 'PHIL'.

Despite his claims to kingship this model makes a nice officer figure for the phalanx and - I suspect - would stand in for an officer of pretty much any Hellenistic army of the period.
