Musculata for 5th century? - Atawulf - 07-04-2014 A friend of mine wants to buy a musculata for 5th century. He told me I ask here cause he doesn't speak english and wants to know waht kind of musculata sould he use for 5th century. I've seen a musculata in Arcadius Column but I don't know if in 5th century it was quite different to early times. Thanks.

He does his research and can make your friend a good Late Roman muscle cuirass. He made some of Comitatus' gear I know. Musculata for 5th century? - Atawulf - 07-06-2014 Ok thanks a lot
