Thanks, Salvianus, for your timely and thorough reply. I plan to make my shield plus some of the clothing and accessories, like perhaps the plumbatae. I plan to purchase the boss, Spangenhelm, body armor, and weaponry. I like the Der el' Mehinah model the best, regarding the Spangenhelm. Of course, I am open on sugglestions. I am new to re-enactment. By the way, I looked at the photos you have on line, the re-enactors in York, I believe. The photos are very impressive and informative. Marcellus Valerius Gothicus.
