Unfortunately they are needed for the fights. We have a very hard battle to protect and wrist.

"I think you have maybe over done the zinc sun block.... "
Ah well - that type 'A' mask will have been over a hundred years old by the time it was fitted to the Imperial Italic type 'G' helmet. At that venerable age I think it would need all the protection it could get and sun block might be just what it needed. :grin: "Unfortunately they are needed for the fights. We have a very hard battle to protect and wrist. " I see. :-? Actually, I have been a combat re-enactor myself in the past and I do understand the protection issues you seem to be invoking. However, if it was really protection you were after, why does the protection not continue over your hand? In my experience the right hand is the part of the body most likely to be hit in re-enactment combat. :evil: Crispvs

Not me, but a friend of mine. I took this a month ago. His impression is Caesarian, I believe, the 'Larks'. This one is without armour.

Good to see more late Republican, early Imperial impressions!
I like the blue shield cover!

Indeed, Republican stuff is sadly rare, as is the whole Hellenistic era in reenactment it seems...
Thanks a lot, Paul!

I've gotten some new gear since my first impression in July, which includes my new Gallic H helm, and new DSC brass greaves. The greaves are actually for my Hoplite impression, and do go over the knee, but I thought they would work well as part of a legionary kit of Trajan's Legio XXX during the Dacian campaigns cira AD101-106, protecting from the Dacian's dreaded sickle-sword the 'falx' since "over the knee greaves" on a legionary are a bit of a stretch for some of our imaginations, my excuse is that my brother, a Centurion was killed and his greaves were passed on to me, his next of kin
I got the greaves for a bargain and couldn't pass them up, or I'd have saved up for a pilum and scutum which I still need, in addition to another balteus... Loved the Italica I video Robert, very professionally done!

Brilliant video clip, like watching a major motion picture preview....well done!!

You know, I really appreciate this video, it's really really amazing, and it deserves full credit. Whoever directed and made it all was fab! You are shown that they follow lives outside of war, as we have scenes of rings on fingers, we see brotherhood, and also some exasperating action!!!
I think we need to get a director and producer interested in hiring many re-enactors here to be shot in the best Rome movie ever! A solid two hours of pure historic brilliance. Let us be known to the world! Haha, anyway, day dreams over I guess :oops: Sam
