Byzantine re-enactment

[Theodosius the Great]

You did a wonderful job, I must say.

Afaik, these shoulder guards make their first appearence in the early 5th century. I recall the ivory pieceof Honorius wearing them with a musculata.

Well, I suppose you could get the Deepeeka ones, but they aren't quite the right shape - that folded up bit at the top isn't on the contemporary representations. They also look a little too tight to go on the shoulders.

It was just an idea. Maybe one could be cut in half to get the right shape. I've seen this vendor selling it/them for $93 (and I presume that's for a pair and not just one.)

Thanks for responding.
