Here are some photos of the occrea I taught Tiberius Nemonicus Agricola of Legio IX Hispana (USA) how to make. He's been a member for just about 1 year.
The metal is steel, 18g; hand rolled, hammered; hand drifted holes; tinned; with 4 exterior mounted hand made "O" rings in brass clips; the liner is composed of two layers of felted wool with a goatskin covering that was quilted together with waxed linen thread; with a binding edge of goatskin sewn on with waxed linen thread. The "ansata" was Agricola's idea.. afterall you have to be able to tell yours apart form someone else's!
