Unfortunately my Fibula slipped from my left shoulder to the middle....

Which era greaves, have you seen the new ones Peronis is offering from Daniyell? Brass and iron! A must have buddy!
I deff want them for a 180ad impression...and they are good for later!

Yes Byron, I am well aware of the greaves Peronis is offering :wink: ! I have also a Deepeeka Niederbieber helmet which will make my impression a more late third centurish...

Are they not just a little on the small side Jim? I thought i saw a picture of a group, with one of these dished ones, it looked smaller than the other scuta.

I've no idea, Byron, but Jorge can be contacted by email. What I like is they seem to be made of planked construction.

Yes, that is what my Republican scutum is constructed like. The edging could be a little more solid, and the boss...but anyway, yes they are made in the strip layered fashion! Big Grin

Greaves are easy, shields are also in good supply. There Armilium, as Jim pointed out, and Fabrica Augustana.
I would think very very long before buying a spatha. I bought mine way to soon.

If this is the photo, it looks hunky-dory to me.
