Hi Marcus,
how would they be called, then ??
"Vexillatio Prima Checia" ??
"Cohors Prima Civium Checiorum" or
"Legio II Semper Adiutrix"
Yes, i think I've seen them several times before -- in different guises.
The "usual supects" for these kind of occaisons on german TV ?!
Much more original though than the military equipment they usually use in the average "Attila"-movie, I think.
After all, if Hollywood showed us roman cavalry eqipped with stirrups attacking German in about 180 AD like in "Gladiator" , who is entitled to doubt that it REALLY WAS SO at that times ?! ;-)
O.K. they "recycled" cavalry eqipment from the movie "Cromwell" too.
("Ironsides")
BTW: you could easily use cuirassier's equipment from the 16. and 17. century with minor mods for a close resemblance to Roman Cavalry of the late 2nd/early 3rd Century. Most couldn't tell the difference. :wink:
