Plus the club would not allow me to bring my spear to hte party/

Although it isn't exactly my period of knowledge, I think you did a good start. I've seen worse (even by people who were in business much longer then a year)

Will read up on history rather than asking obvious qyestions.

regards smithy.

You should take a look at the website of Matt Amt, although it´s about 1st century, a lot of items (and thus their latin names) are discussed there. [url:2x9gtcxi]http://www.larp.com/legioxx[/url]

Lorica = armor
Lorica Hamata = ring armor
Lorica Segmentata = the classic Roman iron cuirass of bands or hoop
Lorica Squamata = scale armor (on fabric/leather backend)
Lorica plumata = scales on ring armor

I wouldn't wear a lorica hamata under the your segmentata, but I think you're probably talking about plumata here, I guess.
