Can you post a pic of the subarmalis?
Here you go!
Any comments?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - FAVENTIANVS - 10-10-2006
Looks great.
Made it yourself?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Martin Wallgren - 10-11-2006
Yepp! I did. It was a pain in the *** to do it! It is made of five layers of linnen and between layer 2 and 3 there is rolls of scrapp linnen sewn into tubes. the shoulderpads are two layers of linnen and four layers of felted wool.
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - FAVENTIANVS - 10-11-2006
Gjötte bra job!!!
Have you thought adding some pteryges?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Martin Wallgren - 10-12-2006
Nah! My impression is of a Germanic Auxilliae soldier of some lower officer rank. I want it to have it a Auxilliae feel but still have it Romanised enough. The boots are going to be more native and instead of pugio I´m having a seax.
I´m working on a complete diffrent design for a friend though, witch will be more suted for petrigues. The first one is made to be used with a slimfitting Hamata but the new one is more adapted for use together with a Seg. Radically diffrent design. More of a square vest with a rectangular shoulderpiece in one piece. May do a schetch later on and post.
The actuall Sub. is at my friends place right now but I will post pics when I get it back.

Oh shucks, got the quote button wrong. :oops: I meant the comment of FAVENTIANVS
This is my western auxiliary archer impression. - mpferrell - 11-02-2006
I just put this together a couple of months ago and completed my first event at Castra Romana in South Carolina. I am looking for comments good or bad to better my impression.
Another of me getting ready to release. - mpferrell - 11-02-2006

Hi Mercer, Good turnout! What's the drawweigth on your bow and is the quiver a researched replica?? Can you get an arrow out, as it looks to be slung low and far back. Any feedback on quivers, anyone?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Mithras - 11-30-2006
All I have found is 'leather' and 'tubular' and 'slung on the back' - so mine is all of those. And it works fine.

Draw weight is 30lbs at 28". Quiver is home built as simple as I could make, nothing fancy. It is slung low, I am fixing that before next event. Thanks Robert.
