Are there any republican-era reenactors?

[Buggnkat]

Salveo meus frater,

I too have started my kit for a legionare of the late Republic era. It is tricky as some things translate easy and others do not. As stated equipment isnt readily available for off the shelf wear and use and information sketchy of what was worn and used. We all know that popularity drives where the time frame focus is, and most is centered on late 1st Century.

So, I am very glad that I found this thread. Most of the questions I have had about different equipment have been answered or interpreted as I have. One wavering question I still have though is the helmet, I know the montefortino was the helmet of choice, but what time frame did we start seeing more of the coolus helmets (Post Ceasar or Augustus)?

Thanks for the help in this area all!
