You look brilliant!! Well done!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Caballo - 07-29-2007

Thanks- but looks like I need to sort my sagum out and remember that unlike the first century, the brooch is on the right shoulder!

Any sagum tips from Late Roman re-enactors?

Cheers

Caballo

Looking great!! Late Romans, unite! What was the occasion to go 'Late Roman', anyway?

Can I call on you for any future events?

Like what? How to drape it? Ask away!

Your belt would be a tad too early, I'd say.
And according to some, the combination of trousers and leggings is 'not done', although many do it anyway.

Graham?

"What was the occasion to go 'Late Roman', anyway? " A Romano-British event at West Stow near Bury St Edmunds. Its a recreated Saxon village. First time I'd been there, and I was very impressed- a lovely spot with some great buildings. Would be an outstanding site for a big Late Roman event.........

"Your belt would be a tad too early, I'd say" Absolutely- original impression based around the Lyons well finds of 197 AD.

"Can I call on you for any future events? " Be an honour!

"Like what? How to drape it?" Exactly!!

Cheers

Certainly!

I'm planning on gradually getting a full kit together for fourth century. Primvs Pavlvs is making me a belt at the moment to which I will be adding Colchester buckle, Richborough propellor stiffeners and suspension rings with a Dorchester 'tube' all by Nodge Nolan.

Like these..

Sword and helmet by deepeeka to start with.

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - sulla felix - 07-30-2007

Are you Late Roman Batavians?


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Memmia - 07-30-2007

Well done you two! You look great.

Adrian, is that a Grozer Scythian bow ?


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Peroni - 07-30-2007

Hi Jo,

It's a Grozer 'Hun'. Just the basic one. 50lb draw weight

I can't see any reason why not! The Batavi were shipped out to Britannia in 360AD!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Franklin - 07-31-2007

Caballo and Peroni,

I'm curious about your footwear. Are these from a specific find? What pattern did you use? Close-up pics would be very welcome!
