Augustus Legionnaire

[fai222]

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone got some good image references for an accurate Augustus-era Legionnaire kit? I have been doing some research on equipment etc., but would be great to get inspiration from some good images. Planning on making a kit for a history festival in my home town next year.

Thanks!

Peter Connolly's depiction of a legionary of the first half of the 1st Century AD would probably fill the bill.

Try this, there are 2 books on it, with wonderful drawings.
