Military Tribune Impression, Various Periods- Questions - Corvus - 11-24-2021
I would like to recreate the look of a Military Tribune.
I am considering various periods.
- Late Republic/Early Principate
- Antonine Period
If I would go for the Early Principate I am thinking of using a Attic helmet similar to the one on the Rhodos Trophy, an Attic-Thracian helmet, or maybe a Boeotian one.
I also found this painting by Giuseppe Rava of the battle of Carrhae.
I think the officer depicted with the lirica musculata is a military tribune. What kind of helmet is he wearing?
Are there any finds that correspond to such helmet?
For the Antonine time period I am thinking to go with
with a Pseudo-Attic Cavalry helmet similar to the Graham Summer depicted (see picture).
Do you think such helmet is acceptable for that time period?
-----
-Lorica Musculata wouldnt differ for both time periods
Same as the tunic, this said, any idea where to by a tunic with either narrow, or broad stripes?
-I am not sure about the Sword. Would tribunes have used a cavalry Spatha?
-Did they wear any belt? There must have been some sort for a the tunic?
What color would be the Calcei of a Military Tribune? Would the color differ for a equestarian/senatorial tribune differ?
If you have more advice, would l9ve to hear it.
