Sounds good! I was going to go for a bronze montefortino and bronze greaves, and either a decent hispaniensis, or have my Albion mainz copied and a republican type scabbard made for it!
But the problem with my plan would be, how to do a Republican crest. Were the centurions wearing transverse crests already, or a special type of horsetail?
Also, did they have phalerae then too, or some other form of decoration?
And would they have worn a shorter hamata, or a long one? ie as the same length as the legionaries?
And what would a finely dressed first spear wear (ie Caesars Xth's primus pilus) An expensively decorated montefortino? Or at least one with some intricate detailing?
anyway, one step at a time..... have a hamata on order! :lol:
ps send some of that weather over here!
