What Kind of hamata would go with this era. A sleeved one without doublings?

And the Neidermormter helmet?

And what type of sword would go with that impression?

I saw picture in, guess where, Osprey, which I would like to base an impression on, as long as it is an accurate one!

Maybe something like this:

Nice impression!
Is there evidence for a sleeved hamata coming down to or past the elbows?

I see you use the hamata with a doubler.

With no evidence of course, just the same speculation explained at the osprey book.

I think longer sleeves appear at the end of the Severian period.

Well there goes another idea, as Osprey show it as a Marcus Arealian centurion with the sleeves coming down to elbows....wonder if anyone would notice :lol: :roll:
