Agraes,
Very nice colors. I haven't seen an oval shield like yours that curves the way it does.
Your time period is close to one I'm focusing on at the moment (sixth century) . Looks like
you're wearing a seax ? How are the straps secured to the scabbard ? (rivets, laces ?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hraban, you're off to a better start than I had. You even have appropriate boots. Very nice. I'm glad as well to see a new Late Roman join the ranks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peroni,
Great impressions ! Your 2nd century belt is interesting, I don't recognize the design. It isn't a 'FELIX' belt is it ?
I like how your brass greaves match your squamata too. May I ask what size plates you used to make your shirt ? I'm almost done making my own and it will also be for an Auxiliary impression. (My plates measure 4.5 cm by 2 cm).
