Impression questions
#1
Alright, so we've narrowed our planned impressions down to a 15 year span....(115 to 130 A.D. ) and pretty much narrowed down that we would like to have our impressions have been part of Legio VI Victrix. That time span, from what I have read, allows us to have served in Germania Inferior before being moved to Britain in 122 A.D.

We now have to work at nailing down the precise equipment worn and used during that span. Unfortunately most references I have found, so far, are relative to 20 years or so before. So I am hoping for some info on what shoe type (open or closed toe), helm type ( was thinking Italic types), and segmentata type we will need for our legionary types as we grow. (yeah I'm hopeful and ambitious :wink: )

Just received my copy of The Roman Legions Recreated in Color Photographs" and am perusing it for any info we can use. Beautiful book, absolutely beautiful. Hope I can find some excellent, time frame appropriate pics inside. Also gonna try and find some images of Trajan's column and see what I can glean from them, even though they are a few years before our selected time. Would the gear have changed too much in that span of time?

Anyhow, thanks for indulging my ignorance here, and I appreciate any help that we can get in these areas. :wink:
