Salvete,

I'd like to try my hand at the construction of authentic Roman chainmail.

Can anyone give me some information?

How can one punch the solid rings out off sheet metal?

How are the rivetted rings constructed? How are the mushroom shaped rivets set? I know the wedge formed ones can be set with a special kind of pliers, is this possible too with the mushroom rivets?

Thanks in advance,
Jef
