Phillip did you say you made this item?? If you did WOW!! Amazing!!
In my opinion this is about reineacting but aside from that there really is no such thing as carved in granite rules about something that took place 2000 years ago. Perhaps a few snot nosed jaded historains remained pigheaded in their own opinions because what they had found was as far as they could see. Just like Romans had no tomatoes. Hate to say it but yah they did just wasn't one of their marquee eats at the time. I have a first cousin in Campo Basso, Abruzzi who can vouge for that.
There are always exceptions to every rule but I guess before one can break them they have to learn the rules first. Who knows maybe back in Augusta's day there may have been a guy rubbing brown poo all over his brand new lorica just to look cool and different.
Cheers Phillip!!
Have a lovely weekend mate.
