Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Gaius Colletti - 05-22-2012

I have some new photos! Although not new, the scutum and pilum make their first appearance in this thread. I made a new tunic and finally purchased an accurate belt (Thanks Rusty) as well as the addition to the manica. The crest is not meant to display any NCO status, it was just on the helmet in case anyone was wondering. Reenacting the Dacian Campaigns

nice job Paul.


Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 05-28-2012

Looks great Paul!
Where did you get the mail coif?
Is it of authentic alternating riveted and solid links?
I couldn't find one anywhere!

Great picture,Paul, of a much under represented period.

The coif was made by a friend. Unfortunately my mail is butted, its also a bit short for the 3rdc, I removed lengths from the sleeves and waist years ago... I really should re-attach them.

Really cool impressions, Paul! Love the first one, especially!


Re: Show here your Roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 05-28-2012

Thanks! The sleeves look just right to be honest!
Although I guess longer sleeved mail was coming in then too?

Hmm, I still seem to be having problems with the Server 500 error. Hopefully this will be corrected soon

Let me try Matt, here's one from my first time out to an event. I did a bit of HDR editing in Photoshop but nothing over the top (I'm not that old or that dirty! :grin: :

Indeed! I enjoyed your pics nonetheless. 8-) Truly this is an underrepresented period, although I find it to be the most fascinating of all Roman military history. I am so happy to see dedicated people reenacting it.
(I am not a fan of that deepeeka sword, though...)

Jay, the transition from collector to reenactor certainly didn't take long lol. Nice looking kit, got a picture of the rest?

You're not kidding! :-D Gotta say I had a lot of fun. I do have pics of the rest but I'm disappointed with my belt. I put an apron on thinking the discs would come in time but of course they didn't. So I have a belt with plates, buckle, pugio holder terminal ends and NO DISCS! :mad:
