Thank you everyone! This is *awesome*
I've shown your site to my fella, had he's already thinking that the whole metal-casting of bits and bobs looks fascinating. And Matt Lukes has him wanting to forge his own Segmentata now.
Ammianus - SO PRETTY!
For fabrics, am I okay with off-the-rack (or rather "out of the box") linen and wool from a place like Wm. Booth Draper? Or is the weave coarser for Roman stuff and I should look for something else?
I've got the "world of..." book on order, thank you for the recommendations!
Finally, are the "crossbow" fibulae I see all over the place okay for Republican era civilian, or they later period or military? They seem awful... chunky.
Gaius - tempting.
