[Tita Iuventia Martia]

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Regarding the legionary subarmalis, I'm happy that it can seen that I am wearing subarmalis under my segmentata. More important thing is that my shoulders do not hurt from the weight of the armor as much as with the older subarmalis. This heavier design works with segmentata better, the older one was good enough for cushioning blows but it was not thick enough for long-term wear.

Yes, I'm using deepeeka spatha in those two photos. The main reason is that I think a mounted tribune can fight better with a longer sword, plus I don't think that any surviving parazonium was ever found.

And as for the work on the tribune's subarmalis, it is machine stitched - there's over 100 pteryges on it. The fringes were created by fraying the material by hand, and the rest of my clothing is hand-stitched, but the subarmalis was a bit too much :oops: :wink: Oh, and the design of the subarmalis is very similar to the legionary one, the difference is this one uses lighter, softer wool (an old military woolen blanket, actually) and lighter linen too.
