Glad you all like them. Like I say, I can send on high definition pictures to anyone who wants them but it will be next week before I can mail them out as their at home.

The man who took the photographs is Jack O'Keeffe. Jack has many other photographs of Roman and Greek sites (Macedonia etc.) he's taken over the last number of years. I'll talk with him and see if I can make up a compilation of his pictures and post up to the site shortly.

Thanks for posting these. It's too bad they didn't fill in ALL the plaques, though, there are quite a few of them left blank. I guess they left off the one that listed tunic colors, right next to the two cavalry metopes, eh?

And the one with the official declaration of accuracy "modelled on real life soldiers".

Actually, I had a picture of the metope describing dress details but I've somehow managed to misplace it. I do remember what it said though...

1. Tunics were white in color
2. Tunics were worn as tight fitting as possible
3. Tunics were elaborately finished around the waste
4. Bracce were worn underneath - again white in color

There's actually an exact replica in the museum, see here...

Several of the metopes were lost (prior to excavation of the site; some, notably in a shipping accident) and are not currently reconstructable.

Holy cow! You're right! Martinus, and this will revolutionize the whole reenactment wardrobe!

and all that time we thought the pteruges hung down around the waist. Tarbicus, we need to open a shop at once! Pink pteruges with cupric alloy stiffeners...we need a wholesale supplier!

Thanks for the grin, Martinus, and a laud for your troubles!
