I know that other periods also use expensive armor BUT as far as Roman armor is concerned, 1st C reproductions generally can be more expensive than the later Roman gear. Of course if you have one of those later Roman gilt silver helmets made exactly like the original, it will make a dent in the wallet. However, if you want custom made gear with the specs, materials, and functionality of the originals or at least as close as possible, 1st C gear is up there.

I would love to get involved in a mock battle BUT not with my gear since I am more of a private collector than a reenactor and do spend more money than most of the people who reenact.

My two cents.
