When someone does not agree with you, that does not constsitute "picking a fight" on a discussion board, Matt. Especially when that person has experience in the area being discussed, and you do not. Very sorry you feel that way, but it does explain a bit about your inability to stop posting on this thread long after you've made your opinion clear.
Say, Matt, if you are such the expert in this area of the Roman uniform, why don't you post a pic of yourself in any armor of this type you've made? Seriously, Anthony (the fellow who opened the thread) and I have plenty of our work pictured here and in other threads, based on what we feel is correct. Where's yours (perhaps in your aforementioned "toga and helmet" combo)? Even Dan has at least an avatar showing what he's done, lol.
Later.

Quote:I also find it a bit humerous that you're hung up on "evidence", yet made your pteryges out of LEATHER. Travis's site clearly states thatSorry to cut your na "na-na naaa na" short, but I made mine before I saw the site. At the time, leather was thought to be the most realistic option. Very selective of you to endorse Travis' findings in the one area, BTW, but completely disregard them in the next, along with Flavius' relevant comments on the matter.
