You look brilliant!! Well done!

[Caballo]

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

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!!

Can I call on you for any future events?

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.

[Gaius_Calvus]

You both look superb.

[Peroni]

Many thanks for the comments.

[sulla felix]

Are you Late Roman Batavians?

[Memmia]

Well done you two! You look great.

Adrian, is that a Grozer Scythian bow ?

[Peroni]

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!

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!
