Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Crispvs - 07-31-2007

Ah well, it seems I will have to improve my early fourth century belt quite a bit now so as not to be left behind. Smile
I will need to get back to the arduous job of decorating my tunic as well, not to mention getting a suitable sword and a long sleeved mail shirt. Oh, and fit a spearhead to the ash pole which has been waiting for it for months.

Well done my two comilites!

We will have to make it three some time.

The Batavians were basd at Vindolanda, I think in the 300's, so there you go!

Actually it was Carrawburgh (Brocolitia) :wink: but we'll let you off that one as the Ninth cohort were at Vindolanda from circa 85 - 105!

Great Impression Crispvs, and yes! it's about time you finished embroidering that tunic!

@ Franklin.. My footwear are not exactly what you might call 'period' in the photo! Something else I need to amend!

You can create a second cohort of those Batavi, or, alternatively, report to the first cohort here: Big Grin

We already discussed that Robert! These guys look great and have a lot more experience in the period that we do currently, so they are a good option.

Man, those are some nice looking socks!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-02-2007

Good looking kit mate! I see Peronis bling squamata fits well!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Primvs Pavlvs - 08-02-2007

Thanks guys! Franklin the socks are made by my wife. She has made several pairs for other board members.


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Franklin - 08-02-2007

It sure does. 8)

I think this is the first time I've seen an all-brass armor impression. Very nice, Paul !

Early Augustan ? Or Tiberian era ?

Yup. Including me. She does great work for reasonable prices :wink:
