Jim
I thought that was you in the picture Jim? No, I don't have copies of either source, so have tried to go by what I read in the websites/books i have access to, and modeled mine on one I saw on a re-enactment site. it being a very small pic from the back, it is undoubtedly different, but is very comfortable under armour! So peturges could be added for lorica in the temporary fashion you mentioned in another post then? I have just picked up along the way from some source or the other that peturges were not used with segs. :? Even though I am sure they are depicted in Osprey several times........

I originally had fabric fasteners but they were too flimsy, as I didn't know of a local source of leather, and was totally green/new to re-enacting, so improvised with the buckles. Hopefully, when I find a decent source of leather, will either try to copy yours, or try to make roman type buckles! :? [/u][/i]
