Quote:Nice picture Jurjen. I just have one question because I think it adds nicely to your impression. The neck torc......why have you chosen to wear one for a Roman centurion? Is it because torcs were also something that the Romans adopted so why not a neck torc? The reason I ask is because I too thought about it but was not sure if it made sense to do so.
Well, basically my kit has lots of local influences and I'm portraying an officer from local (e.g. Batavian) origin. Using the neck-torque is a local influence, which we also know was used within the auxilia cavalry. See also my checkered official cloak, for instance.
