If anyone was wondering where the comments about the Gallic D reconstruction had gone, I moved them here.

Well, not a very close shot, but here is my new cavalry impression.

More pictures at facebook...

Very nice scutum. It seems like a beautiful beach that you are on.

What helmet are you wearing and do you have any other pictures of your armor.

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Marcus Mummius - 03-28-2010

Looks wonderful!

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS - 03-28-2010

Thanx

The helmet is the deepeeka's Shelby White collection, but without the mask and with the Gloucester cheekpieces of the Deepeeka's Weiler helmet. I have thought a sytem to give more stability to the helmet, very important in cavalry matters:
it's heavy padded, and i have used very long straps to cord it. I have not made the knot at the front of the face, i have pass it at the cheekpieces rings, crossed it, and cord it at the neck, over the helmet neckguard.

Very impressive. I like your impression. Well done. Can't see more pics on your facebook account?

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS - 03-28-2010

A closer shot of the helmet.

here, you can see the rear knot over the cheekguard.

Thanks for the reply.

I must say that I have not seen this helmet at the Metropolitan Museum. I know since I live near this place and have visited it several times.

When I go again I'll look more carefully.

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 03-29-2010

Great stuff Cesar! Big Grin

Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Franklin - 03-29-2010

I'm posting these here and in Allies/Enemies, as they really apply to both. 5th century Gothic or Vandal tribesman serving in the Roman army. Diamond pattern trim in these photos is modern upholstery fabric, but I met a woman at this event who does handwoven diamond-twill wool. She'll be supplying the trim for the ultra-period version of this outfit. Squamata is my own creation, constructed from Deepeeka scales. Boots from Armamentaria, modified by me for my 1.5" leg difference. Also added hobnails. Pilleus is a vintage 1950's woman's pill-box hat I found on Ebay for $12. I want to eventually go to a spangen helm with punch decoration and repousse and a planked dished round shield. My goal is to be able to walk off an SCA field, change helms, and walk onto a reenactment field.
