Quote:Hi Alan,

I do enjoy re-creating steppe and Sarmation equipment. In terms of recreating a 1st century auxillary I suspect that after a few months ethnic styles of clothing and footwear would have worn out and be replaced with Roman styles of clothing.Over the years Sarmation defensive armour would also fade away to be replaced by standard Roman issue helmets etc. But tattoos would remain, perhaps with other less obvious signs of ethnicity.

This is an interesting thread. Let us keep it going.

Hello John,

I went back and looked at the Osprey book on Late Roman Cavalry too. It's better than some of their other titles. Christa Hook did an excellent job. Her father was also an illustrator of historical matter. Francis Hook (who I don't think was her mother, but Richard's 1st wife) used me as a model for Peter the Fisherman. About the only time I portrayed someone pius.:lol:

Yes, a good point on the Romanization of auxilliaries. Within a year they probably looked just like a Roman in their dress. This accounts for all those funery steles of men with barbarian names appearing totally Roman. I guess my kit represents a guy who just came off the steppes.:wink:

Let's continue the thread if we can get input from other RATers. Sorry for the delay in answering. My internet wifi is bad at the moment and I can only access during a "window" during part of the day.
