Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - aitor iriarte - 12-08-2006
Well, if you ask, perhaps they'll answer you 'no'
If you don't ask and then do it discreetly, you can always pretend offended innocence when caught...
Aitor

Ah, plausible deniability! :wink:
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - aitor iriarte - 12-08-2006
Yes and, I forgot:
Last, but not least, swallow your camera's memory card before they catch you. Thus you'll be able to recover it later for the benefit of all your mates, Late re-enactors! :lol:
Aitor
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - Peroni - 12-08-2006
But If they swallow the memory card Aitor, we may have to wait even longer for them to "download" the info!! :?

What kind of USB cable would you use for that?
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - Peroni - 12-08-2006
USB = up someones bottom? :lol:

Nah, I'll ask Robert to volunteer and than give a call to a lady friend who's a certified doctor. Nothing some sharp surgical instruments and a good dose of good 'ole mulsum beforehand and some needle and thread (admittedly anachronistic thread) can't solve. :twisted:
For Science and Experimental Archaeology! Huzzah! :wink:
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - Robert Vermaat - 12-08-2006
Suddenly the phrase 'inside information' reeks differently... :twisted:
Quote:For Science and Experimental Archaeology! Huzzah! :wink:Can we have that in Latin? It'll be the battle cry at Archeon next year!
Quote:My camera's better, unless Robert gets himself a new one... :roll:Just maybe, but not probable.
Quote:And then...off to get embroiderer's cramp (me presumably) or the printshop (probably Robert's preferred solution). :wink:Shh!
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - aitor iriarte - 12-08-2006
Don't worry Robert, if you don't survive, we'll put a plate remembering your heroic deed... somewhere in the fort (maybe near the latrine :? lol:
Aitor
Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - Robert Vermaat - 12-08-2006
Cheeky! :lol:

Antwerp is not exactly the next town, but close enough to organise a trip!
That's great news! I'm studying in Antwerp, probably exams the end of June but this is an exhibition that can't be missed!

Peronis,
If you can't print them on like Aitor, you could always try embroidering them like mine.

Re: Late Roman tunic (Clavi) - Franklin - 12-10-2006
All joking aside, I think it's really critical that somebody get detailed photos of these private pieces. It'd be a HUGE benefit to Late reenactors worldwide.

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!
You also owe me a pic of that Late Roman scutum of the RMRS, the one you've attached the plumbatae to?
coptic designs - Graham Sumner - 12-11-2006
If it is just designs you are after there is no real need for underhand methods or subterfuge as there is in fact a book on early coptic textile designs by Gerspach available now at Amazon!
