Website selling Republican gear?

[ParthianBow]

Does anyone know of a website that sells mid Republican gear?

I need the helmet of a triarius, and also the spear and one greave (I know, I know, I'll have to buy two!).

I've tried armillum and armamentaria with no joy, although I need to email them directly as well.

Thanks in advance.

There's a Spanish site - but I am not on my home system at the moment so can't provide a link. Someone else may help in the meantime but I will look when I get home this evening.

http://www.armae.com/ try this one.

Armillum is the Spanish One. He doesn't speak English very well so unless you're fluent in Spanish its difficult ot order from him.

I think Armae has an Apulo-Corinthian helmet, which would be appropriate for a Triarius. But a lot of the gear you'll have to make yourself, I've never seen any Republican-era caligae/calcei.

Dave Akers in Missouri makes a Republican-era Pilum head. He's on RAT and FAR so you can contact him through this site. A standard Greek Dory should work for your Triarius though, he makes Greek spearheads.

There's a few sites that sell republican-era armor and swords, Manning imperial makes good (but expensive) stuff. They have republican-era greaves and helmets and stuff.

Ferran Garetta in Spain is another option that Moi possibly meant.

Rather not, I´d say. Better for an upper-class "Samnite" cavalry depiction.

This guy? Yeah he does some awesome stuff.

He understood English just fine when I talked to him. He just may take a while responding.

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Vermaat said its hard to order from them cause he doesn't know English well. Maybe it had been a while.

Thanks for the info Jay.

I'm rather surprised that no one mentioned Erik Konig - http://replik-online.de/en/index.html

I've never dealt with him, so cannot give any review, but it definitely appears as though he has Republican gear.

Ben, Jean- Luc of AERa will be a good source.

Erik Konig makes wonderful stuf but might take a long waiting time at the moment.
I never had any problems with doing bussiness with Armillum, his English is okay. Ferran Garetta speak little English, but is happy to help you in English.

[ParthianBow]

Thanks for all the replies!

I know Ferran - he made an amazing hastatus bronze breast and back plate for me.

Jose on Armillum speaks English fine - but he's got twin babies and a new bakery, so is rather busy - that's ptob why he takes a while to reply!

Will check out the other sites - thanks!

Sir,

It is a suggestion. You may delete this post, if it offends any rules or policies of RAT. What I am suggesting is that the Roman Army talk is now a mature place and has a large following. We should create a small market where manufacturers can show and sell products direct to members, at reduced prices. The RAT can control these sales, and get a cut on these, which would be beneficial for the forum.

Again, this is only a suggestion.

After several rather recent occurrences, I can say we will not be opening up a section of the marketplace for Vendors or Indian manufacturers to sell their goods.

I'm sorry.

Thanks,
