Please consider tailor my panel - Parma akvilifera. I beg to point out errors. ))

Very impressive group.

Here is myself and the other Romans in the group I am in, I am the one on the far right. That is me in my Roman Cavalry Impression, my alternate personality for re-enacting Sextus Laelius Lupus. I'm horseless at the moment, and I think I will be until I graduate from university and get a full time job in four years time :lol:

hi,

few pictures of my group ( bellum gallicum )

Nice!
That second picture, the yellow/orange parma, it looks very Late Roman?

it is a speculation, the only late-Republican Scutum found is that of Kasr el Harit, but for a centurion , I think this move with parma is easier to give the order

Very nice Martin!

Me as optio of Cohors V Praetoria in Rome during Natale di Roma last sunday.

I'm seeing a lot of pictures now of reenactors with waist-sashes on the outside/on their armor - I don't know of any evidence that suggests this, did I miss something? Where are people getting this information from? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, I really don't know and would like to know where people are getting that from.

Indeed, I've also seen it in some late Roman groups.



I'm sure they have found iconographic evidence of that.

Heres a useful article on the fascia ventralis from Arma. http://www.mcbishop.co.uk/arma/arma3-1.pdf

A lot of evidence from the early tombstones. In fact I wore one today at the Passion Play at Bury.

But my question is on the supportive evidence of a fascia worn -over- the armor. When not in armor, as seen in tombstones, if it could be said in "off duty" or "dressed down fatigues", then yes, a sash makes plenty of sense, and I've worn one on my tunic for a while now - But I am unaware of anything that shows a sash being worn over [maille] armor.

No problem. Heres the Vacheres warrior. Of course there is always the argument as to whether he is a Gaul dressed in Roman style, or a Roman cavalryman, etc, but...
