All, been a while but this is a picture of me as a Dacian Wars Centurio while at the 2011 Columbia Italian Festival.
I would like to here your comments. Based the impression off what I could find on archelogical finds printed in English, Adamklissi Meotopes, and a lot of help and assistance from Peronis.
The gladius is a Fulham/Mainz pattern copied off the Fulham find.. A few of the meotopes at least appear to me that some of the soldiers might be still using this weapon. I do have a Pompeii pattern gladius, that is just waiting on much better and deserving scabbard
The pugio is copied off the Leeuwin find.
