I've gotten some new gear since my first impression in July, which includes my new Gallic H helm, and new DSC brass greaves. The greaves are actually for my Hoplite impression, and do go over the knee, but I thought they would work well as part of a legionary kit of Trajan's Legio XXX during the Dacian campaigns cira AD101-106, protecting from the Dacian's dreaded sickle-sword the 'falx' since "over the knee greaves" on a legionary are a bit of a stretch for some of our imaginations, my excuse is that my brother, a Centurion was killed and his greaves were passed on to me, his next of kin
I got the greaves for a bargain and couldn't pass them up, or I'd have saved up for a pilum and scutum which I still need, in addition to another balteus...
Loved the Italica I video Robert, very professionally done!
