Show here your Roman soldier impression
Here`s my latest try to resurrect a mexican exchange auxilliary from COH I TIJUANORUM, 3rd century A.D.
I do an impression of a military musician here, a so-called MARRIACCHUS who is on his siesta

Thank you for the laugh. I really needed that.

Off the grid, as it were, for a little while but here are some pics of the new hamata and Deir El Medineh helmet taken a few days ago when the sun actually came out:

I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST ever putting a sword resting on the ground like you have in the 3rd photo. It's extremely bad for the blade.

Great pics though Francis! Love your kit!

Thanks, MMFA - we have discussed your aversion to sword points before and my response, I seem to recall!

Just to show how LS should look....front and back pics....both worn with a homemade/made up Subarmalis.
Notice the Ventralis in operation to support the back and pad out the Armour. Not Archeologically proven......but works well in re-enactment.. Gives the Seggies the "flare" on the hips....this is a Corbridge A.

Good pics Kevin!

Here is my latest foray into republican. Nice of the comilitones to mention the unhooked doubler hooks......
Anyway, I'm sure there will be plenty to comment on it this set.

Kevin, can you insert your photos, please? The images are really tiny.
