Romans gatecrashed the Viking festival this weekend and this was a rare opportunity to get a picture of me in my 'provincial' Northern kit.
Paul Elliot (Mithras) took a couple of me in my kit on the Roman map at the Yorkshire museum so I thought i'd post them up here.... hopefully this might re-inspire the discussion for a Ladies impressions sticky on the board
Looks pretty good, fits the climate of the region too!

That is very impressive however are they two trumpet brooches you have at the shoulders, for I hope you don't think me nit picking if I say they look to be the wrong way around.
It may be just me but can we see a closer shot of them.
It must be my poor and very old eyes these days and rightly as you say pin uppermost, that is indeed the same with most Roman brooches and trumpets do have the curve of the bow in the lower direction for it holds the folds of cloth and also pin upwards.
