Legio IX Hispana - Black T-Shirt

Brave elite warriors whose origins date back to the feudal Japan of the 10th century. Considered the noblest caste of soldiers who served the emperor, their lives of honor, loyalty and justice —strictly governed by the Bushido code—, encumbed them to the moment of greatest glory and splendor during the Sengoku period (1467-1568).

According to the warrior proverb, A true warrior does not fight for hatred against those in front of him, but for love of those behind him.

The Pharaohs: Half gods, half kings, conquerors, warriors and protectors of Egypt exercised their quasi-divine power as lords of the two Lands. They were considered the manifestation of Horus in the earth, and as high priests they celebrated rituals and cults in honor of the deities in the great temples, to their death they were buried under the pyramids waiting for their rebirth as lords of the underworld (Osiris). From the Ancient Empire to the glorious New Empire, warring pharaohs such as Narmer, Ramses II, Tutankamon or Cleopatra have ruled under the banks of the Nile.

The first warriors of the Iberian Peninsula were fierce and faithful Iberians who defended with their death their warlords. They were expert riders who carried bows, arrows and the feared Falcata that they used until the end of the battle. Just like the men, the women, in addition to devoting themselves to cattle and cultivation, also participated in the warrior life and in the Assembly where the important decisions of the tribal states were taken. Dedicated to the cult of female deities (symbol of creation & fertility), they also offered rites to the Sun and the Moon. In their temples, adorned with sculptures of sacred wolves —representing the warrior ardour, the cult of the night, the guide in the beyond— magical ceremonies were celebrated by priestesses such as the famous Lady of Elche.

There is no people more feared than the Viking, they have gone down in history as barbarian invaders, cruel and ruthless warriors from the north who looted, conquered and killed with their deadly axes, however they were incredible navigators, merchants and discoverers, whose mythical stories echoed in the ancient east. Its legends and poems, written in ancient and magical runes, tell alliances and skirmishes between clans and villages, mythological stories where the fierce gods of Asgard, Thor, Migdar, Odin, the Ragnarok or the Valhalla appear, that majestic hall of the fallen where they lived, guided by the Valkyrie, the warriors killed in battle...

When we enter the extraordinary history of Ancient Rome we come across its legions, its conquests, its epic battles, its emperors and its Immense Empire, its founding myths and its gods, the principle of citizenship, the law, the senate and the Roman people (SPQR), but we also find stories of persecutions, of slave traders for the Mare Nostrum, of prisoners of war and gladiators who fought heroically in the arena of the Colosseum to conquer their freedom —Many of them, of course, confronted in the amphitheatres attracted by the search for recognition, fame and glory.
