I've noticed that some SCA (or Dagohir) "Roman" fighters have tried to standardize their gear, appearance, etc. Has anyone done any such thing? There are a number of SCA-type helmets that have a general look of Roman helmets (with cheek, and neckguards as well as grills.) But what about shields? Standard oval heater or T6 shields painted red is what I've seen (but using straps). You don't see too many Lorica Segmenatatas out there.<br>

What about the Pilium? Though some events allow missile weaponry, there's seems to be a loophole in that the required gauntlets for swords pretty much make it impossible to get OK'd by a marshall to bring on a Javelin type weapon and and throw it while still using the required hand protection for swords, (which in itself makes it almost impossible to throw a javelin due to design constraints).<br>

Enquiring minds want to know.<br>
