Late republican - early Imperial kit
#5
Thanks everyone!

I know I need to get the personal library updated :oops:

I live in a very one-horse town that has very little for decent literary resources. Perhaps an ebay hunt is in order.

Would the equipment in the first image be relatively close for your basic trooper ? (first couple behind the Centurion near the front)

For Centurions (second image), I believe this is fairly accurate for this period (although perhaps a bit over-decorated... all those Phalerae must equate him to a Roman Achilles!...
Confusedhock:
also Pteruges(sp) or no...

I have a final question about wearing Hamata... what would you wear over your tunic to keep the maille from destroying your wool? I know it can discolour and mangle heavy cotton and doc-cotton in relatively short order.

Gratiam habeo,
