Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Marcus Mummius - 08-29-2007

That's true :wink: I suggest you send Wim a PM and ask yourself. He'll be happy to tell you I'm sure. I know he makes a lot of stuff himself so perhaps he made these himself too.
Vale,
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-29-2007
I see! Now I figured someone here might know.
Do you have his e-mail address? Wim rings a bell, but he obviously does not come on here much, or he would possibly have answered the question himself. :?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Marcus Mummius - 08-29-2007

Cool that you acctually are a younger lookalike to your avatar
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Et tu brute - 08-30-2007
Lol, i'd never really thought of that, i#ll definatly take that as a compliment
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - John Conyard - 08-30-2007
You looked good on a horse too!
For the record everything in the picture from the verutum, armour, shield, belt, clothing, shoes, tent in background etc etc all have all being made by Comitatus members.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Et tu brute - 08-30-2007
I loved it, though by the end of the display where I was wearing the mail, I think i'd sunk about six inches into the ground! I enjoyed riding Merling, he seems very responsive and pretty smooth, though I don't think the riding hat I was wearing was quite accurate
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Salvianus - 08-30-2007
Looking good, Dave. What a great weekend - I think it was my favourite show so far!
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Salvianus - 08-30-2007
Seeing Dave's impression, I realised I've never posted one of mine.
This is my parade order circa 400A.D. for the final procession at Rockingham in May 2007:
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Aetius Helvius Merula - 08-31-2007
Good one, Salvianus! I like the sagum, if they still called it that in your period. How does the lituus sound?
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Et tu brute - 08-31-2007
Looks good Steve, being right in front of you I got a few blasts from the lituus in my ear!
Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-31-2007
And ahboot time an aw!!!

Quote:Good one, Salvianus! I like the sagum, if they still called it that in your period. How does the lituus sound?
Cheers. Yep, that's my sagum, which is folded over below the fibula so it makes a head covering or decent blanket. I have a small, light version with a fringe that I call a sagulum for the really hot days.
The lituus has a good rich tone, less brassy than my old bugle and quite a range, although I seem to be able to find lots of 'in between' notes as well as a good scale :-) )
