SCA members?

[Maximus Atreus]

Our roman group (www.romanempire.net) fights in most major of the mid-Atlantic area SCA events. Tiberius, were you at pennsic last year? Did you fight in a no-shields tourney using javelin and gladius?

I try to make my kit as roman as possible while staying safe. Most SCA folk don't start roman (armor wise). I think you start off with whatever armor you can get when you are new, and slowly buy or make the armor you really want as money allows. We are in it for the fight first, and we try to help our new people get armored up appropriately. We will be at defending the gate this Saturday. Also, our camp at pennsic is just behind the east kingdom tent on the battle field, it's the one with the 12' red SPQR banner with a huge golden eagle

My kit is horizontal centergrip scutum
Gallic-esque generalization helmet with minimal bar grill (not as nice as clangs, but pretty nice)
Leather gorget wrapped and covered by scarf
Musculata with leather shoulder pteruges
Subarmalis with pteruges
Manica
Hockey glove with a cestus I made over it.
leather elbow and vambrace on shield arm (still working on that one)
Brass shovel greaves
Boots (guilty)
