Sorry guys, but I had to do this madness: I post here my sketch about a Roman Legionary wearing the famous 'Alba Julia' LS!
It's almost a form of fixation for me, from the first time I saw the image of the Adamklissi relief showing this strange armour, the Alba Julia didn't leave my mind! So I tried to exorcise this Dacian gost, drawing it.
The armor might be also of Leather, but I chose three large iron strips, the (in-)famous mantle of scales is somehow a mystery, so I chose rectangular scales. The Helmet wanted to be an Hedderneim of the most symple type :razz:. The man has an big oval shield and he is holding a long spear, he wears his spatha on the left and in conclusion, we might suppose that he is living during the first half of the III century, maybe under Severus.... :unsure:
Sorry for this invasion but try to understand my silly obsession about Alba Julia LS! illy:
