Avete,
Luca: thank you for your answers :-) ) But, may I ask you about lorica musculata once more ? Is it made of leather or bronze? It looks indeed great! Pivus: Nice impression!! May ask you what period does your group portray? from what I could have noticed, you are wearing imperial Galic G helmet on photo but I am not sure about your gladius type? Is it Mainz or Pompei type? I have to say that your scabbard looks great! I also noticed your cornucen (on picture) bearing a parma shield with nice pattern :-) -) ) I would be also happy to help you with your Roman soldiers impression. So, You can ask me, If you will need help :-) ) Longus: Nice impression, good work!! Can I ask you, which period does your group portray? vale and best regards from Prague to all :-) )

Quote:60-90 years. May I ask why you're waering greaves. I don't think a ordinary flavian soldier would wear those. Second, as on the picture your gladius isn't secured enough. This could be done to wear your cingulum over your balteus cum gladius, so u your gladius will be (and stay) closer to your body. Just a little note. Overall a nice impression and good to see you practice trowing your pila!

Wearing your balteus over your shoulder belt for the gladius seems to be a reenactor invention. A lot of original depictions of Roman soldiers show the shoulder belt to be free hanging... So the way you wear it certainly isn't incorrect.
There is a lot of discussion over the wearing of greaves in the 1st century AD... Not a lot of hard evidence but seeing the legs are so important and vurnerable...

I think If you use an imperial scutum there is need just for one grave not two. The second one is a "nice to have" but "not that important".

Salve,
very nice republican impression May I ask you which century does your group portray? It is difficult to see much past your shields. :wink: Could you post some other photos?

We run from 2nd Punic war to just before Marius. Though we have had some new members who started with imperial and are now slowly getting their republican kit together.
