Show here your Roman soldier impression

Alexander, did Paul lend it you or did he really sold it?

Yep, the former Peroni's squamata is in our legion's loaner gear now, and I found it convenient for the signifer's impression. And, of course, it looks great.

[M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER]

Our centurio bought the squamata from Paul for our legion.

The beautiful squamata Edge is wearing is made by the most excellent Matt Lukes.

[Gaius_Calvus]

Essentially, I own two squamatae.

The one I wear the most was made by Matt Lukes, as were my ocrae (greaves).

The other was made by Peronis, and sold to Primus Paulus (Paul) who subsequently sold it to me, and I lend it to the legio members for events.

And a new picture of my as a batavian soldier on the Roman festival Nijmegen this year. Additional to this picture I've a clipeus with the Coh I BAT design, 2 lancea, 1 hasta and a Gallic F, which are all now shown on the picture.

[Caballo]

Excellent- a Batavian auxillary in a segmentata as shown by the latest research- laudes!

[John M McDermott]

Very good! I've often wondered if Roman soldiers didn't wear some plaid.

[Tita Iuventia Martia]

Ave!
Really nice impression! Although I'm not an expert on auxiliary units I want to say that it looks great.

But...

By this impression I've a clipeus with the Coh I BAT design, 2 lancea, 1 hasta and a Gallic F, which are all now shown on the picture.

I'm a little bit confused. Are you sure that you didn't want to post a different picture. I don't see the shield or the spears and helmet.

Hi folks,

In addition to the pics Alex posted of some of us at Kennesaw, attached are a couple of pics of our early Batavian impression, in this case portrayed by Andrew Magee, one of our members.

The gladius is a reproduction (attempted, anyway) of the finds at Kessel-Lith.

Regards,

I mentioned it, because they aren't on that pic.

Nice early batavian impression. I hoop to complete mine soon. (still have to paint the shield, buy or make a kessel-lith belt hook and make some new tunics. Helmet and spears are ready (thanks to Robert Wimmers who made Nijmegen based spearheads and a nice Krefeld helmet)

@jvrjenivs Peregrinvs Magnvs - That is where the confusion lies Jurjen, as you say in the post that all these items are in the picture.....

I guess you ment 'not' , not 'now'?


@Gaius Calvus - can you post a picture of the sword, it is a little side on for the shortsighted amongst us.

[Gaius_Calvus]

Byron,

See the thread in the main "Reenactment" forum on the "Kessel-Lith Sword" for several pics.

Changed the post a little bit.

Thanks Gaius will do.

Cool Jurjen, I have to admit I was wondering too.

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]
