Avete, comilitones!<br>
<br>
Thanks to Julian Dendy (aka M. Antonius Celer of Legio XIIII R.M.R.S. in Britannia), I recently had the opportunity to look over, handle, and photograph much of the Axel Guttmann Collection of Roman military equipment at Christie's in South Kensington. Some of the best images are now posted on a page entitled Real Gear on the Legio VI Victrix Pia Fidelis website, accessible via this [url=http://www.legionsix.org/Real%20Gear.htm" target="top]LINK.[/url]<br>
<br>
These images are intended for study purposes only, and may not be reproduced without the permission of Legio VI, Leg XIIII R.M.R.S. and Christie's.<br>
<br>
The most astonishing piece is undoubtedly the "mouse helmet," a fantastic Niedermörmter-style (Italic H) helmet in iron with brass decoration. But there is plenty else to feast your eyes on! Enjoy.<br>
