Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Paul Elliott - 06-13-2012 Yes Jyrki, I am very jealous of your kit, it looks 'the business'! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-13-2012 Thanks guys :oops: ! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-14-2012 My new sagum, trousers and tunic added to my armour ;-) ... Clothes with additional gear: Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-15-2012 That sword looks reallly familiar! But you've stuck the point in the ground dude!!!! hock: hock: Class kit indeed Jyrki! Also your's Furius!! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-15-2012 Quote:That sword looks reallly familiar! Thanks Byron, but the sword is not the Albion one ! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 06-15-2012 Quote:Ahh, great stuff! You're looking better and better. Now a sword belt would be a good thing (or a narrower baldric) plus a longer shaft for your draco. Did you order a torc yet? Contact me! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-15-2012 Ahh, I can see it better now in Roberts post. I remember it now! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-17-2012 Fooling around with Snapseed ;-) : Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Albertomv - 06-18-2012 Jyrki, the last photo looks very cool! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-18-2012 Quote:Jyrki, the last photo looks very cool! Thanks Alberto! Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Evgeny - 07-24-2012 Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Virilis - 07-24-2012 Very nice Evgenii! I wouldn't want to be in the receiving end ... Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Pointer - 07-24-2012 Where is that forum? Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Regulus - 07-28-2012 Great shot, Evgenii! Everyone looks nicely kitted out. Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Crispvs - 07-29-2012 "Everyone looks nicely kitted out." I think I can see cross braced helmets, and I suspect I am seeing a Theilenhofen type helmet on the far left. I am guessing therefore that the intention is to portray Trajanic or Hadrianic period legionaries. Overall the hard kit looks good, although I am not sure of the provenance of the helmet in the foreground (although it does look rather like the nineteenth century restoration of the heads on the Louvre praetorian relief). It looks as if one or two of the men left their military belts at home too, and I can't see enough of the belts that are being worn to see of the mounts are correct for the period the helmets appear to me to be from. One or two more pictures could be helpful in that respect. For the soft kit, there may be a small amount of work to be done. For a second century AD impression, trousers are fine, but they need to be much closer fitting and should extend to only just below the knee. The tunics look to me to be rather too narrow as well. I don't know what sleeves were like in the second half of the second century AD but for the first half the extant evidence would suggest that tunics were still wide enough to reach to the elbow or forearm without the addition of sleeves. Many re-enactors wear tunics featuring elbow length sleeves but I don't think that such tunics are based on any surviving evidence. On a more positive front though, it is nice to see pila actually being thrown and it looks as though the throwing technique is quite good as the pila seem to be flying well. It certainly looks as though you get longer periods of good weather than us too! By the way Evgenii, why do you use two different shield blazons? Crispvs |
