Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Caballo - 05-27-2008

Thanks all- lot of credit to Peronis who re-worked the Burgh helmet for me.
Now to make a thin 4th century baldric.....and a 5th century Dorchester belt!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Ceasar Augustus - 05-27-2008

Have a good time. Big Grin

@ Ceasar Augustus
Not shocked, my friend, impressed, very impressed


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Ceasar Augustus - 05-27-2008

Ah that would explain it Smile


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Peroni - 05-28-2008

The Deir el Medineh spangenhelm can be seen on the Arch of Galerius (3rd C), so perhaps I can get away with the Vimose type baldric?! :wink:

Yes, Adrian, but never with square tabulae and a broad belt... :wink:

Very nice impressions. Perhaps I should try and post up my early impressions so you guys can help me out with belts, pugios, and other arcane items.


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Ceasar Augustus - 05-29-2008

Sure we all love to see more impressions.

Hi Paul - somehow I missed this discussion (I've been away from RAT too much these past weeks).
Very nice you guys!
I recognise the red shield from earlier RMRS pictures, and must confess that part of the FECTIO design is based on that one! :wink: :oops:

Very nice reworked Burgh, I recall that the cheek pieces were a bit oddlly shaped (plus that nasty accident with the nasal...).

Paul, your tunic seems a bit too narrow as well as short?

But I'm still gutted you won't be at Archeon this year!!! :evil:

This my impression of a Gallo-Germanic cavalry explorator in Roman Service.


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Peroni - 06-09-2008

Very nice!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - jvrjenivs - 06-09-2008

Ah, very nice impression Garrelt. Well done!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Marcus Mummius - 06-09-2008

You certainly look the part, great stuff!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-09-2008

That is the image I would expect for one of Arminius' henchmen....
I probably have the timing wrong...but excellent impression!


Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - maius - 06-09-2008

Outstanding impression!
