My friend, you borrow another scutum and make a rain-proof scutum tunnel!!
Quote:Quote:A scutum as a tent. That's classic.
The tegimentum is waterproof, so why not? The problem were my legs, as the scutum covered my body only to the certain area where the legs start (= bottom). Luckily it did not rain, but the cloak would also have been (relatively) waterproof :wink:
Quote:But I also noticed the shoes. Do you have a pattern for those?
Send me a pm, and I can give you a source for such boots 8)
