Ceremonial Centurion outfit

[Charlie]

Hey Matt/Magnus

Thanks heaps man for your reply and all of the info you have provided...I really do appreciate it.
I will consider the pteryges in linen...lol

Also I 'll go through the sites you have listed which I am sure will be of some help.

You know since I have been researching this whole centurion thing it has sparked a real genuine interest in the whole roman army and paraphernalia. Very intersting indeed. The first post I postes with the hollywood type outfit, I have since found out is from The Good friday procession in Qormi, Malta. Apparently the right to dress up and take part is passed down from father to son over the ages from Roman times. There are shops in malta etc that make these elaborate costumes.

Thanks Matt for the ebay links as well...just got them.

Once again thanks for taking the time to help and inform me, I'll let you know how I go. Hope you don't mind if I get back to you with any further questions.

Regards
Phil
