A quick question since I seem not to be able to find the propper answer in my available literature.<br>
<br>
I try to set up a late republican early imperial legionaire around the time of Teutoburg. I have noted that most references do not give such legionaires the so typical groin guard hanging from the Cingulum. Apparently troopers from this time just had the two "cowboy style" cingulum and thats it. Then I read during this time the groin guard began to apear. Then I see other sources that show them with groin guards.<br>
<br>
What would be the most generic approach to such an impression? With or without? <p></p><i></i>
