Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Mithras - 02-06-2005
I was equipped as an archer, my fellow climbers were equipped as light infantry with spear and small shield. Two carried axes, one a spatha (as did I), and Jamie wore scale armour (which I think he regretted ...).<br>
<br>
We climbed from Hardknott Roman fort to the top of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. We did it last Saturday.<br>

BTW Theodosius, I was admiring your wonderful photo here. Where was it shot? Also - why a red tunic as opposed to the white we see alot of in the Amerini mosaics? <p><strong>Paul Elliott/<em>Caius Fortunatus</em></strong><br>

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Lucius Aurelius Metellus - 02-07-2005
Well, I have posted my impression early on here before, but the image wasn't good at all, so here is an updated one that is a lot clearer.<br>

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 02-07-2005
A LOT clearer, I'd say! And your impression looks great, I might add.. Wot's next - body armour? <p>Valete,<br>

Coming together very nicely. Very tight craftsmenship. I can't wait to see what you make next.<br>

Vale Mithras,<br>
<br>
Saw your site and the other pictures - awesome! How did the gear hold up? Can you tell us a bit more about marching/climbing with spear, shield and spatha? <p>Valete,<br>

Ave, Mithras.<br>
<br>
I shot it at a secluded spot in Northern California along an irrigation system. It's located at a water purification station.<br>
<br>
I have a white version of my Late tunic, but red's my favorite color .<br>
<br>
Lucius,<br>
<br>
Excellent work . Did you use tapestry for the clavii ?<br>

Re: Late Roman - Lucius Aurelius Metellus - 02-08-2005
Ave guys,<br>
Thanks so much for your compliments! Theodosius, yes, my clavii and orbiculi are made of woven wool tapestry. It was the nearest thing I could find locally to something that the late Romans might have used. It has geometric and some floral-like patterns in it. Your impression looks awesome as well!<br>
Hi Robert, no, I think my next project and acquisition will be my spear, a heavy thrusting <em>hasta</em>. After that, I think I will try to tackle the mail shirt. <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, draconarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=luciusaureliusmetellus@romanarmytalk>Lucius Aurelius Metellus</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/Lucius68/LuciusClose-Up.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 2/8/05 2:32 am<br></i>

Very nice, Faventianvs .<br>
<br>
I didn't know the Romans had plaided saga (barbarian influence ?)<br>

Re: NEW IMAGE - aitor iriarte - 03-09-2005
Ivan,<br>
You need a padded felt or wool undergarment to wear under your hamata. Forget about pterugae or the like, but do it as long as your hamata is.<br>
If good weather does not come soon, you will need it at Segeda!<br>

Re: NEW IMAGE - FAVENTIANVS - 03-10-2005
Yes Aitor, It'll be freaking cold there! I dunno how to make it!<br>
<br>
Yes, I think it as a barbarian influence, as well as my clipeus, where on the rear side I have few words on ancient runic alphabet (simply WOTAN and the rune ELWAZ, and in latin the sentence FORTUNA IVAT AVDACES..., an analogy of the period sincretism... all in my shield!)<br>
