"And yes, you have every right to point that out."
Nicus Maximus,
Have no fear. I think we would all agree that the job you have done on his kit is top notch. My own son only has soft kit. I was just pointing out the matter of the straps by which the pugio is attached. In all other respects - keep up the good work!
"But then again: how many 13 yr olds do you know that wear a kit like this, know more about the history of Rome then many do, and are proud to be a mini legionairre?"
Well, having read Connolly's 'The Roman Army', Webster's 'The Imperial Roman Army' and an abridged edition of Gibbon when I was twelve, I certainly knew a lot more than most of my teachers about the Romans when I was at school, but I had to make do with a very bad cardboard 'Hollywood' Roman outfit to dress up in, to be replaced later on with a mail shirt made of hundreds of ring pulls from drink cans. I certainly never had anything like what you have produced and I can only think of a handful of boys who have had - all of them the sons of re-enactors. Again I say well done!
