Hello all,
I have recently finished a mid-to-late 1st century AD Roman legionary impression. I constructed as much as I could by myself or with help from fellow members of Legio XI (Atlanta). My kit includes:
Lorica segmentata - constructed myself
Subarmalis, pigskin with linen lining, constructed myself
Gallic G helmet, constructed crest from black walnut & horsehair
Fulham gladius, Deepeeka plain steel pugio (replaced horn layer with walnut)
Balteus, constructed using with Clang Armory plates
Scutum, constructed with help from Leg XI members
custom pilum & PAR Fabrica caligae
I especially want to thank Edge (Gaius Calvus) for his help and Matt Lukes for his advice in helping me construct my seg.
I'm almost done with a Dacian War era kit, and have the manica and greaves done. Stay tuned for pictures of that kit in the future.
