Reference Architecture

[richsc]

It would probably be a great help to newcomers, and indeed to most, to have the equivalent of a 'reference architecture" for soldiers through time. That is, a overall depiction of one or more soldiers with their appropriate equipment at various times. This could be spaced every 50/100 years, and it might help dispel confusion about, for example, which pugio at which time, or the appropriate belt configuration. Such images could be pulled from existing illustrations, with permission, or created, and options could be listed as well..range of pugio types for example in 50 AD.

As an extension, it could also point to various existing commercial examples or link to the plans to make the item (eg, direct link to Legio XX shield press)
