Detail of belt and scabbard. Scabbard in "up" position.

Scabbard in "down" positition. Made possible by configuration on this scabbard.

Laudes, John! Well researched ensemble!

Laudes from me too, John! Especially this sword looks great (is it made by a german manufacturer by any chance :wink: )...

No, though there are some excellent versions available from German craftsmen.

Here is a sad old late roman officer guarding the river Rhein for the very last time...

Thanks Tony! I really need a spatha, shield and a Lorica Plumata / lamellar cuirass and then I will be ready for "the last stand on the Limes" :wink: ...

John, Jyrki, indeed both excellent impressions!!

Jyrki, I'll gladly borrow you a shield for LRE III!

Thanks Robert! I am eagerly waiting for my new spatha and a draco standard :wink: ...

Very nice kit you got there Virilis! It will look even better with the shield and armour. Laudes!

Thanks Juuso 8) ! In fact I just might have some armour, shield, spatha and a draco standard coming...

Looking good guys!

Who made your montefortino John?

Avete omnibus.

I'm an italian reenactor of Legio I Italica, a group in the north of Italy.
I've approached and discovered this forum some days ago, liked very much and, after my presentation, I'm reading a lot of posts and argouments.

You had a great idea about posting photos of ourselves in roman equipment.

Waiting for a godd pics to post, I would like to link two pages where you can see the video about the River Idice battle, where the Boi Celts and the Romans clashed.

You can see me: I'm the legionary escorting away a woman prisoner in the Boi camp.

Here the video from the Roman point of view:

And from the Celtic camp:

P.S.: I don't know if it's correct to post video and not only pictures. If I made an error, excuse me.
