Hello Neuralmancer!<br>
Thank you for posting these, the one about the mail is particularly helpful for me! <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>

In his document on maille, robert uses a fairly large ring, somewhat large for roman. A smaller more typically sized roman ring results in the use of more "basic units" for a given size patch. His methods apply ok, you just need to apply a scale factor. <p></p><i></i>
