Request for input from re-enactors. This may sound nutty, but please bear with me.
Has anyone tried wearing a set of phalerae with segmented armour? The only re-enactors I've seen wearing any military decorations have been centurions and possibly optiones (?), and as far as I recall they were wearing mail. How easy / difficult is it to get a set of phalerae on a harness on segmented armour?
If you've tried it, I'd appreciate your input. Or run out there this weekend and have a try!
thanks in advance
Kate
