Show here your Roman soldier impression - Damien - 01-06-2015
The lorica squamata is less than 5 kilos and pauldrons are attached to the cuirass by leather strips. A very simple system which articulate them at the top of shoulders. Others strips are laced in my arms so that pauldrons follow well all my movements.

Quote:Titus Valerius Minimus kit update and other pictures
May I ask how tall are you and is that helm a deepeeka helm?
Only reason I ask is I'm thinking about buying that but I'm only 5'6 with a 22" noggin. I'm wondering if it will fit.
Also you look great in that.

I am 5'9, and this helmet fits if you put very light padding in the right place. It's an old model deepeeka Gallic H, accurate, but slightly small and the bowl doesn't really fit human heads. If you order from Soul of the Warrior, you'll likely get a new model Gallic H, which fits and has more crest mounting accessories and a few extra details.

My impression of a Antonine Wall period auxiliary from the Sixth Cohort of Nervians as portrayed in The Antonine Guard. All of the kit is from TAG itself except for the helmet which I purchased seperately - the one form them being too tight across my forehead. This is my first attempt at a 2nd century impression as I tend to prefer the 4th century so I am relying on TAG for advice.

Looks awesome Noah and Francis!
Show here your Roman soldier impression - Crispvs - 02-28-2015
Looking good there Francis. You should be aware though that if you are portraying an Antonine period soldier, the belt you are wearing would be around a hundred years old and the sword seventy to eighty years old. The helmet would also be quite old but that is not so much of an issue. As you build up your Antonone period kit, I would recommend getting a belt (the item of kit apparently most influenced by changing fashions) with a few openwork fitting around the buckle area (other than that the belt should probably be unplated and possibly decorated with stitching. The apron was probably a thing of the past by then and a lengthened tongue to the belt with either one or two decorative ends wrapped around the belt might be more appropriate.
For a sword, a ring pommel type would be the the safest option, but as the Antonine period goes from AD138 until AD192 you might consider something like the Lyon sword worn on the left with a wide baldric if you were aiming for the latter part of that period.
All this might seem a little exotic, but like the modern soldier, the equipment of the Roman soldier was a gradual and constantly evolving thing.
Crispvs
Keep up the good work.
