Caelius' period is not that far removed from ceasar, but I suppose it was a period of change.
Who makes the shorter mail cuirass? That has been on my want list for some time!
But are you sure a Caesarian centurion would have a shorter hamata? I'd check that it's not more likely to be the longer one, which I know would be my preference.

Sorry, I am jumping around here, I was looking for one for an impression of caelius! Have wanted to do one of him since i saw the osprey cover depicting him, however fanciful it may be!
But to be honest, I am sure Osprey must have seen Brenus' impression for some of their art work, he looks just like the pictures in the books

Not knocking him at all, that would be silly seeing what I look like! :roll:
