I could take them all :wink:

Those are some pretty rugged looking choppers!

Legio XI CPF (Belgium) was in Mosa Trajectum (Maastricht the city is called today) this weekend. Some bad weather, some good. Our centurio couldn't make it so I acted as the commanding optio.

The lion was kindly loaned to us as a replacement for my bearskin by Paul Karremans from Legio X Gemina.

Nice pictures! Do we have evidence of optiones wearing greaves?

Looking good!

I am pleased to see that my design of the LEG XI CPF tabula ansata for the tegimen is used by our brothers in Belgium!

Thanks.

Short greaves like this could be worn by soldiers of the lower ranks so I don't think it's a problem for an optio. Knee length greaves (the greek style, like a centurio wears) would be another matter.

Yes, we are very grateful to you for that. I'm really glad that we have an original piece to base ourself on. That preserved tabula ansata from Vindonissa is one of the reasons we choose this legion.

Vale,

I actually combined two different originals for my design that you used (included in the pic below) - we are exceptionally fortunate to have them! I primarily used the design of the top piece, but since its top part is missing, I complimented it from the other piece (although it still can be seen from the remains of the missing top part that it had a design different from the one I used for my version).
