Hi Franklin,

Will these ones give you what you want or do you need something more specific? :wink:

Aitor, I noticed you sport an eagle pommel spatha (presumably based on this sculpture). Isn't that a bit early for us? What's the date most commonly ascribed to this piece?

These statues were sacked from Constantinople by the Venetians in the Fourth Crusade (Beginning of XIIth century AD) and its exact date is open to discussion but the most likely one is beginning of IVth century AD.
Too early for us? :?

If I analyze my reconstructed gear, I'm sporting a mixture of items coming from the 320's, 370's and even later... :oops:

O well, my group does so but, as I play the Tribunus, the 'Old Man', I indulge myself into looking 'old-fashioned'! Tongue
