Wearing Phalerae

[Tib. Gabinius]

Also i think its the wrong place to discuss it will say some words about that.

When you take your attention to the pteryges and their decoration or the helmet crest, or even the decoration of the helmets you will see, that nothing of these things compares with massiv golden or silver phalerae, and even the pugio sheet, for a short time one of the shinest parts of the equipment isnt that exponised (i hope thats the right translation for exponiert).

I never said that the roman legionair werent pride guys, with a sense for decor and a bit vainly.
But theres a difference between vainly or become a target first class.

Its not only the thinking of a man out if 21st century, its the think of every time, like Homer also showed up, like the reports of ancient wars and the looted armors of chieftains and so one focus, and also like the medievals show.

So, i can wear my Weissenau with the brass rivets and the brows, cause everyone on the field took part on this kind of decor, but i would not wear a golden breastplate and a silver, jewel sticked helmet and stand in the first line, between men whose brightest equipment is a belt or, just a short time, their sheets...
