strigil construction
#1
Hi there. I'm thinking of making a strigil. A Scraper, Roman soap. Wondering if anyone has one, if they have pictures, and how they made it. Thanks! <p></p><i></i>

Matt Amt has one he displays at all our events, and I think it's just a piece of sheet brass cut and shaped. I would guess 18 gauge, but I'll check with him.<br>

Hi there<br>
<br>
We have a few in the [url=http://www.legiiavg.org.uk" target="top]LEG II AVG[/url] display, the pictures are a bit small but it might be of some help.<br>
<br>
Today we tend to make them from sheet brass and shape it.<br>

Hope this helps, I will try and dig out some larger images for you later on.<br>

All the best <p>Graham Ashford
