Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 05-31-2006 Oh, he just used my picture. I don't mind. We do business. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 05-31-2006 I see. Just wondering what he made for you - couldn't tell from that picture. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 05-31-2006 He has made several shields for our legion. We are working on a project to cover the front of a scutum in rawhide. Good fellow! Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Robert Vermaat - 05-31-2006 Quote:We are working on a project to cover the front of a scutum in rawhide. Good fellow! Interesting! Could you keep us posted? Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Primvs Pavlvs - 05-31-2006 My wife and I at PAX ROMANA Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - tlclark - 05-31-2006 Quote:"Are you following Graham's reconstruction?" Graham Summer reproduces a brass and Iron corbridge based on a fresco from the house of Nero in Roman Military Clothing 1. This is the first time I've ever seen someone make one. Looks great. Quote:"Also, your tunica has sleeves right? Are the clavi sewn on or woven in? They look fantastic. " Sleeves are definitely seen in the statuary. I will be reconstructing my tunic with sleeves as I think it would help prevent chafing. The clavi look great. So they are woven but sewn on, right? How did you sew them on? Travis Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 05-31-2006 They are embroidered on. The segmentata was made by Ken Evans, who has retired from re-enacting. Ken has paid great attention to the details of the Corbridge find. I did not know Graham Sumner got into the act or believed one existed. There was a thread on the RAT about evidence of a brass segmentata, but the evidence profered got heavily discredited. Still, I believe there is no good reason one couldn't have been made. Brass was used in other armors, so why not in a segmentata? Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - tlclark - 05-31-2006 Wow. Hand embroidered? or by machine? If so how does that work? and how much did it cost you? On the Brass Segmentata: Yeah, Graham has reconstructed one and he had some fairly solid evidence, only his has brass shoulder pieces and iron torso, and the effect is really nice. Anyway, great kit. Travis Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 05-31-2006 My guess was machine embroidery, but I don't really know. The tunic came with the clavii, so I don't know what the separate cost was. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 05-31-2006 Wow, great helmet! Who made it and what is the asking price? Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - tlclark - 05-31-2006 Quote:My guess was machine embroidery, but I don't really know. The tunic came with the clavii, so I don't know what the separate cost was. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? Travis Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Crispvs - 06-02-2006 Hello all, Fresh from looking at John and Primvs's impressions I decided it was high time I finally posted up an image of myself. This photograh was taken last weekend at the Lunt Fort. For those planning on putting sleeves on their tunics, I would note here that my tunic has no sleeves and I have never experienced chafing of the sort Travis mentions whilst wearing it. This includes marching most of the length of Hadrian's Wall. Also, can you show me unambiguous evidence for short sleeves on early imperial tunics. All of the images I can think of are at best open to debate or plainly show tunics without sleeves. Crispvs Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Crispvs - 06-02-2006 Sorry, I'm not sure why the photo has turned out to be so small. It was much bigger befor I uploaded it to Photobucket. Crispvs Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John M McDermott - 06-02-2006 Quote:Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking? The person who did them is difficult to contact at the moment. I will let you know when I reach her.
