How to make a embossed Vindonissa cingulum plate.

[PhilusEstilius]

I have to agree with you about the Frog Cesar, your new one does look more substantial ( stronger ) very nice work indeed. I am also a Roman armourer and have been for the last 30 yrs, infact I can almost read your mind here and like myself you are not happy unless it makes you happy. This is where one has to say you also put 110% into your work.

Hmmmm. Not bad.

:wink: :wink: :wink:

Beautiful work Cesar.

Inspired by this I started making a new cingulum. Now, I'm waiting for new brass to arrive, so I started with the apron terminals, as I had some old ones from the Albion moat sale lying around, which I've for a couple of years now, never used.

Here you see how they came:


And this is what I made of them (still to be tinned)

Nice! I have made the terminals too, inspired in the Tejike find.
