No, though there are some excellent versions available from German craftsmen.

Avete omnibus.

I'm an italian reenactor of Legio I Italica, a group in the north of Italy.
I've approached and discovered this forum some days ago, liked very much and, after my presentation, I'm reading a lot of posts and argouments.

You had a great idea about posting photos of ourselves in roman equipment.

Waiting for a godd pics to post, I would like to link two pages where you can see the video about the River Idice battle, where the Boi Celts and the Romans clashed.

You can see me: I'm the legionary escorting away a woman prisoner in the Boi camp.

Here the video from the Roman point of view:

And from the Celtic camp:

P.S.: I don't know if it's correct to post video and not only pictures. If I made an error, excuse me.
