Hello everybody!
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/ ... /e014a.jpg
I participate to the conception of François Gilbert's new book dedicated to the late Roman army. François Gilbert is the author for the French publishing "Errances" of " The Roman soldier at the end of the Republic and under the Early-Empire " and " Legionary and Auxiliary under Early-Empire " He is also the president of the group Pax Augusta.
He saw the image of this beautiful cataphractus, he would like to know how to contact him and obtain exclusive pictures.
Know you who is this man and how to contact him?
Bye!

Robert,
where are you getting this mass of information? Are you sleeping at all, or working or doing anything apart from digging for info.....?  hock:
I made a couple of lamellar cuirasses. These things get fairly rigid to make them more flexible you either have to loosen the laces in certain areas, as shown on the pictures, or you leave a small strip of the belly free and patch that up with chain mail.
Just my two pence...
Cheers,
Helge

Hi Helge,
What information? About that cataphract? Just what people tell me, but right now that's nothing at all!

From memory he is an Australian re-enactor from Queensland and we saw his kit for the first time at the Armidale Easter Gathering earlier this year. I will try and obtain contact details for RAT.

Hi Guys
Have been reading this with interest... I am currently in the process of putting a Sarmatian impression together for 2007. Helmet nearly finished, sword on the way and was going to use Ivan's pattern for Lamellar with some adjustments or additions for thigh protection. Anyone got any comments/ hints/advice/info/help (constructive please gents or ladies) for this. Can't find anything re: shields... late romanish maybe?

Hi Mark,
Have you seen these drawings already?

What period are you looking for? Late Roman shields, but smaller round ones, I suppose? And could you show us images of the helmet?
I found yet another one!!!

Hi guys, I found out who our ‘mystery cataphract’ is:
His name is Warren Lambley who unfortunately at the moment lives in a rural area abut an hour and a half outside Brisbane and does not have a working PC, my contact has promised to forward my enquiry on to him when he sees him in a couple of weeks. He is a member of Lion Rampant which is actually a late c14th re enactment group based in Brisbane Queensland. My contact also belongs to about a dozen guys who also have a 5th -7th century impression where they form a sub Roman/ Germanic comitatus which they jokingly call ‘Hasta Amorica’.
The gear Warren is wearing in photos is mostly made by him as he is a full time armourer. The saddle is one that was originally made for the television series Roar, another of the ‘comitatus’ members made the late roman military belt fittings and buckles that he is wearing.
I’ve invited them to join us on RAT, of course.

I'd be interested in knowing from this guy as to how much all that kit slows down the horse - if at all.
If anyone knows or could ask him I'd be grateful
