Quote:Nice, Caballo, very nice indeed. Tell me, you MUST have had one of these displayed on your wall at home ... I would have!
Totally unrelated note: I've noticed that Tita, like most lorica wearers wears her belt up on the armour itself. Of course this copies Trajan's Column, and anywhere else? I just can't get mine to stay there! It constantly slips down, it may be my hefty 2nd/3rdC pugio pulling it down, but also my segmentata is alot wider than me, so if it does slip it won't sit on the hips. Annoying .. I have to wear my belt around my waist, so the belt plates aren't very visible
Make some belt hangers....easy to do!
Jurjen it is quite easy to put the belt on yourself. But in reality,
soldiers would help each other to kit up, so if you make some for the back too,
someone can ensure they are hung correctly at the back.
