Hello all,
From the images and descriptions I see that a cliche Centurion look consisted of the lorica hamata chainmail with pteruges, harness with phalerae and the belts carrying the weapons. What I am interested in is the order of stuff. Do you have the balteus (belt) first, then the phalerae then another belt which carries the sword like below or the the balteus first or...?
Would be really interesting to hear from a practical point of view of someone who wore this before.
Sorry for the crude drawing. I have to run somewhere, but I hope it drives the point.
