Late Roman tunic (Clavi)

Well, if you ask, perhaps they'll answer you 'no'
If you don't ask and then do it discreetly, you can always pretend offended innocence when caught... Tongue

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

Yes and, I forgot:
Last, but not least, swallow your camera's memory card before they catch you. Thus you'll be able to recover it later for the benefit of all your mates, Late re-enactors! :lol:

But If they swallow the memory card Aitor, we may have to wait even longer for them to "download" the info!! :?

What kind of USB cable would you use for that?

Nah, I'll ask Robert to volunteer and than give a call to a lady friend who's a certified doctor. Nothing some sharp surgical instruments and a good dose of good 'ole mulsum beforehand and some needle and thread (admittedly anachronistic thread) can't solve. :twisted:

Suddenly the phrase 'inside information' reeks differently... :twisted:

Can we have that in Latin? It'll be the battle cry at Archeon next year!

Quote:My camera's better, unless Robert gets himself a new one... :roll:
Just maybe, but not probable. Cry

Quote:And then...off to get embroiderer's cramp (me presumably) or the printshop (probably Robert's preferred solution). :wink:

Don't worry Robert, if you don't survive, we'll put a plate remembering your heroic deed... somewhere in the fort (maybe near the latrine :? lol:

Antwerp is not exactly the next town, but close enough to organise a trip!

That's great news! I'm studying in Antwerp, probably exams the end of June but this is an exhibition that can't be missed!

Peronis,

If you can't print them on like Aitor, you could always try embroidering them like mine.

All joking aside, I think it's really critical that somebody get detailed photos of these private pieces. It'd be a HUGE benefit to Late reenactors worldwide.

You also owe me a pic of that Late Roman scutum of the RMRS, the one you've attached the plumbatae to? Big Grin

If it is just designs you are after there is no real need for underhand methods or subterfuge as there is in fact a book on early coptic textile designs by Gerspach available now at Amazon!
