Hi Lee,
All we have to go on for such an impression is propaganda. :wink:
For my tribunus laticlavuus impression (I'm not old enough to be a legate
) I'm going with a brass musculata with some decoration on it. A pair of decorated ocrae too, but there is no evidence for this in art. Our future legate is having a brass muscle cuirras made too.
Probably a nice decorated mainz scabbard as a sword. An ivory handle would look good on it.
Helmet is also extremely difficult to decide for this impression IMO.
Vale,
Jef
