Hey guys! I am looking for someone to help me find some good blacksmiths to assist me in making a very durable, high-quality set of Byzantine armour for a strategos in the late Byzantine Era (around Basil II). I don't really know a ton about this era as I traditionally only focus on the Imperial Era in Western Rome, but I'm trying to branch out. It would be really helpful if anyone reenacting as a Byzantine troop could help tell me the proper layering (tunic, chainmail, lamellar?) and other equipment like greaves or footwear.
