Roman helmet surface

[terzer]

But that was one of the most favourite things for me in the roman army... Is not the uniformity one of the crucial things about the principate legion? I know before the Marian reforms (and later Augustus) the gear varied, but when the state manufactured the uniforms, they should be almost the same. Yes, it logical to vary in different parts of the empire, the uniforms in Gaul and in Syria cannot be the same due to cultural differences in the regions. But that leaves us quite big gap in our knowledge for the equipment in different regions.

Sorry for the off topic and my English
Thanks!
