Hi,
I'm planning to make a rhombus to accompany our sistrum to enhance our sacrifice to Jupiter.
I assume that nobody has ever found or seen a real Roman rhombus but several groups use reconstructions.
I'd like to know, if possible, about the most commendable dimensions, length and thickness of the string and appropriate way of playing (I've seen it used overhead but I've read that it should be made go round near or against the floor too... :?
Many thanks in advance!

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
