I recreate an early 3rd century legionnary based on Hadrian's Wall. My personal interest is in archery and slinging, so I've tried my best to find evidence I can work with.<br>
<br>
Not much luck.<br>
<br>
Our group, Cohors Quinta Gallorum has agreed that in our period an archer would wear the same kit as a standard auxiliary. I think the same would go for earlier archers .... I have evidence for a bracer, I have a good match for a bow, a quiver has perplexed me and I've tried my own design ... but I'm considering a redesign already.<br>
