Hello everyone. As i mentioned in the New recruits thread, im currently working Lusitani or Gaellici clothes. Ive run into a problem, however. I have found numerous illustrations of warriors from this era, but very little actual archeological proof of much of the clothes depicted.
What i figured i would make is a woolen tunic and a woolen cloak for the basic clothes. Ive seen some statues depicting tunics, and im sure cloaks arent a shot in the dark. I dont know what color i will use, but i am sure brown and green dies would have been available.
does anyone know of any sources describing any headwear?
I know of many examples of iberian helmets and ive seen a few personally. Unfortunatly buying a metal helmet is outside of my current budget, being a student and having no real income. I would not mind making a helmet out of leather, however. Does anyone know where this illustration and this reconstruction gets their designs from, and if such helmets would be avaiable in the northwest of Hispania.
thank you, and sorry about the English.
