Hi. Like the subject line says, I'm fairly new to the whole Roman thing. This is also my very first post into here. I just got done browsing through the helmet database, and decided this is a resource place I needed.
A little bit about my background with Rome. I took 2 years of Latin in High School (nearly all of which, I've forgotten). When I joined the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) over 10 years ago, I chose a Roman persona then because of fascination I gained for it in that class. Well, I only actually attended a few meetings and one event with the SCA and due to location and other things I was involved with, the whole reenactment thing took a back seat. Last summer, I joined back up with them, and decided again to pursue a Roman persona. My studies are geared toward all things military. I fight heavy combat with the SCA, and have dabbled in armor construction. As soon as I'm able to do some casting, I'll be making a Corbridge Segmentata (haven't decided on A or B yet) from raw materials up.
I look forward to picking some brains around here :lol:
To start off, anyone know where can I find some pictures of Regalia (shield decor, vexillum, etc.) related to the 8th legion?
