Salve!
Adrian's the name, old scrote and reenactor, and i am in the process of starting a group reenacting the Ist Minervia pF up here in the currently frozen north. I was wondering, being relatively new to the Roman world, what we should have on our shields? Is there any specific colour associated with our patron diety? Can anyone link me any articles on legionary shields? (read Peronis' article on auxiliary shields,and visited the site of a German group also reenacting the 1st MpF, and they had white shields)
Right, that out of the way, has anyone else seen these people?:

If they are genuine, there are some very inexpensive articles for sale there, but i work on the theory 'if anything appears to be too good to be true, it is!'
so i thought i'd cast about a bit and see if anyone has anything to say about them....and if they are genuine, there ya go! Some cheap stuff! But beware, not all of it authentic! They have some very ropey looking gladii.
Here are some very trustworthy people. Don't know if you already know them, probably some of you do, but i have found them to be reliable.
