Nice, Caballo, very nice indeed. Tell me, you MUST have had one of these displayed on your wall at home ... I would have!
Totally unrelated note: I've noticed that Tita, like most lorica wearers wears her belt up on the armour itself. Of course this copies Trajan's Column, and anywhere else? I just can't get mine to stay there! It constantly slips down, it may be my hefty 2nd/3rdC pugio pulling it down, but also my segmentata is alot wider than me, so if it does slip it won't sit on the hips. Annoying .. I have to wear my belt around my waist, so the belt plates aren't very visible
