My new feminalia

[Robert]

Salve Rita!

Yeah, I know the feeling . I am working on a leather subarmalis for under my hamata and did a double seem on the shoulderparts to add some pteruges. It takes forever punching holes and pulling the needle through.
What time period is your kit, are you doing a cavalry women, hasta, oval shield and hamata? Please post a pic if you have it

Very nice feminalia! What is the difference between these and braccae?
I always get this confused.

Salve Robert!

I'm a Sagittarius in my association now. My personal equipment are: lorica hamata, gladius, cingulum, peanula, caligae, tunica and feminalia.
Helmet, scutum and bow, are property of my association (I don't have in my house :wink: ).

Among few days I will post my picture .
My next work will be a subarmalis, as you!

Braccae and feminalia I think be same item.

Could you post the pattern you used? It is out of 4 pieces, isn't it?

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Thanks, they always look alike anyway!
That is great work, lauds for you work!

they're shown on at least one late Roman illustration, as well.

Yup, Late 4th Century Silistria, a chap carrying footed, belted trousers with loops (to the wash, I believe!): Roman Military Clothing 2:

Salve Rita!

Great, I am a Sagittarius as well (OK, working on it!). I have a Grozer recurve Hungarian bow, a round right slung leather quiver (ref. Coulston) and am making my own arrows and points (just taken up smithing!). Fletching based on Dura finds. I am making my feminalia of wool as opposed to leather, because I could not find good evidence for leather ones in the period I am doing (late first Century, Batavian Aux). When I get the subarmalis finished, I am planning on posting a How-To to give others ideas. Have been taking pics as I progress.

For jvrjenivs: the pattern are two pieces, but needs to cut 4 pieces (cloth or leather).
I try to post this pattern.
