Embarassing Days From the Past... one of ours.... YOURS???
#16
Heheh.. Yeah I remember starting out in the Museum Replicas' "Newstead" Lor. Seggie... Ooh, those were the days...when it took 3 people to hold me down and wrench me into that horrid p.o.s.

My very first public presentation I was wearing the black "calcei" boots from Mus.Reps. too. Awful, painful experience. One size too small for my poor feet. Thankfully the caligae made by Hibernicus back in the day arrived soon after. I'm still wearing those bad boys. (thankfully without the screws :wink: ) And still using the Pila he made for me, too!

Gotta start somewhere! Big Grin

Magnus - Wait, what's wrong with white tunics? :twisted:

From 2002:

The scutum was about 1/3 too big and I'm wearing the first pair of caligae that I've ever made:
