Avete, omnes!<br>
<br>
I would like to point out that all of our (and I do mean <strong>ALL</strong> of us reenactors!) experiences are based on segmentata reconstructions done in various steel alloys - steel, not iron - which behave in a manner very different from steel. Until someone gets around to doing one in iron, AND beating the holy %$&*%(^& out of it - I'd say that the chapter has yet to be written.<br>
<br>
If someone else <strong>HAS</strong> done a seg. in iron, please correct me! - the IX Hispana has started on this sort of project (complete madness! Oh, the humanity!) and I'd like to hear of other's experiences...<br>
<br>
