Tell me the "little issues" as well
Split tunics: if you mean the split at the hips, it had to be done at the time we made these tunics. they are only in one size (had to hurry with the making), and it seemed convenient in the aspect of fighting (it's the same with my helmet: originally the findig shows us a much bigger crest, but after testing we had to alter it. it is impossible to fight in it: big target, one hit landed on it basically tears your head off your neck, and had no balance whatsoever). keep in mind, that these tunics are the next things we want to improve, meaning a unique one for everyone, according to findings.
Virilis: I personally see no validation of the silver gilding. Expensive, and does not add much to the defensive value of the helmet.
