Ave Luca,
nice impression. It looks really good. May I have a few questions?
I noticed that your group portrays praetorians. I'm a bit confused by your choice of body armour. As far as I know centurions in regular legions wore lorica hamata or lorica squamata, but I don't know how it was amongst praetorian centurions. Could they have worn all three types of armor? I don't remember ever seeing a praetorian centurion in lorica musculata.
A second question: in the gallery on your website I noticed a legionary in "summer clothing" standing on snow. It must have been quite cold, I'd think. May I ask you what an event this was taken on?
Thank you for any answers,
Best regards,
