The plastics look great and I hope it does well for them.

Selfishly, as someone who no longer favors plastics, I hope they also continue the excellent Baron’s War metal range that I’ve been buying into.

I'm guessing that it's a consequence of wanting them to cover a fairly long period. The Wheel pommel wouldn't sit right for the earlier period they cover (and are actually most suitable) but the compromise seems to be a kind of Brazil nut/Tea cosy hybrid by the look of things. The Falchion does look like it has a disc pommel though. I think not painting them bright gold probably helps them not look like draw handles too!
I think overall it looks quite a good kit with some good weapon and helmet options.

 lol
That's some in depth research. Ahh well, as many of us have said, they'll make a nice base for kitbashing!

Unfortunately, Roman equipment and fashion of the 3rd century was quite distinctive and underwent some serious changes around 300 CE. Mind you, us 3rd century buffs got the unexpected gift of a plastic kit dedicated to 'our' favourite but somewhat neglected period  :D

To be fair, you've had a gift for many years in the form of the A&A miniatures Middle Imperial roman range:
