Quote:That padding will have a decorative extra, by which I mean there will be long shoulderpieces, like the reinforcements on a hamata or on a linothorax. Probably I'm going to sew some figure on it (not "on top of it", but the lines of the image are just the thread itself). I was thinking of an eagle on the left and a depiction of Mars on the right.
Does anyone have any good pictures on which I can base those useless but still hopefully good looking sewings? :lol:
Anyone? For "Mars", I am going to base the picture on a tribune depicted on the Domitius Ahenobardus altar (?). The eagle is proving harder to find. Otherwise maybe "SPQR" (like this) but I have heard once "spqr" was not used in military context. Is this correct?
