This Greek/Roman Army metal chess set is presented in a stunning wooden cabinet. The chess pieces are made from brass and nickel-plated cast metal, giving them substantial weight.

The detailing is excellent and features classic characters from the ancient armies of Greece and Rome. It includes the Emperor, Queen, officers, and foot soldiers. The rook takes the form of a classic architectural column, and the knights are based on a horse-mounted infantry leader.

The chess board is also made from sturdy metal and has a distinctive burnished olive green, hand-applied finish, with pillar feet at each corner that slightly elevate the board when in play. Made in Greece by world-famous games maker Manopoulos.
