Roman Standards

[Senovara]

Sadly there's no disguising my chest. hock: So unless there were soldiers with man boobs, I'm out of luck. Which is why I play in the SCA, BUT, I want to be as absolutely authentic as I possibly can. I can't with my armor but I'm trying to get it as close as I can within their minimum requirments.

hi Tasia! I think it was touched upon earlier, but there are indeed some roman groups that accept women as legionaries - you just have to ask around. I was lucky enough to find a legion that did (now it's just a matter of acquiring gear and transport!). Wearing a lorica segmentata and helmet, binding your hair (if its long), and with a tunic that will cover a majority of the thigh area, I think being a woman will not readily be apparent.

And I like your SCA standard - horses rock!
