Roman helmet surface

Hmmmm. The smell of leather, horses and wood smoke is just plain sexy. Fat is less so.

I see olive oil as a lubricate, and fat as a medium for cleaning. Up here we would be using fat lamps as well as oil ones.

And the smell of duck fat is just so passé compared to goose fat. You get crispier legionaries with goose fat.
