If anyone was wondering where the comments about the Gallic D reconstruction had gone, I moved them here.

Well, not a very close shot, but here is my new cavalry impression.



More pictures at facebook...

Very nice scutum. It seems like a beautiful beach that you are on.

What helmet are you wearing and do you have any other pictures of your armor.

[Marcus Mummius]

Looks wonderful!

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

Thanx

The helmet is the deepeeka's Shelby White collection, but without the mask and with the Gloucester cheekpieces of the Deepeeka's Weiler helmet. I have thought a sytem to give more stability to the helmet, very important in cavalry matters:
it's heavy padded, and i have used very long straps to cord it. I have not made the knot at the front of the face, i have pass it at the cheekpieces rings, crossed it, and cord it at the neck, over the helmet neckguard.

Very impressive. I like your impression. Well done. Can't see more pics on your facebook account?

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

A closer shot of the helmet.



I have to wait to have better pictures, but, yes, at facebook you can find more pictures.

here, you can see the rear knot over the cheekguard.

What is the shelby white collection from deepeeka?

Is it on their website?

Thanks for the reply.

I must say that I have not seen this helmet at the Metropolitan Museum. I know since I live near this place and have visited it several times.

When I go again I'll look more carefully.

[Robert Vermaat]

Great stuff Cesar!

I'm posting these here and in Allies/Enemies, as they really apply to both. 5th century Gothic or Vandal tribesman serving in the Roman army. Diamond pattern trim in these photos is modern upholstery fabric, but I met a woman at this event who does handwoven diamond-twill wool. She'll be supplying the trim for the ultra-period version of this outfit. Squamata is my own creation, constructed from Deepeeka scales. Boots from Armamentaria, modified by me for my 1.5" leg difference. Also added hobnails. Pilleus is a vintage 1950's woman's pill-box hat I found on Ebay for $12. I want to eventually go to a spangen helm with punch decoration and repousse and a planked dished round shield. My goal is to be able to walk off an SCA field, change helms, and walk onto a reenactment field.
