Website update with new info

[markusaurelius]

In light of some of the recent negativity or sensitivity IMO surrounding RAT I thought I would share/contribute some of my recent updates to my Roman artifact website. The sharing of new information to further Roman re-enactment IMO is what RAT is about(or at least what I enjoy about it).

I hope this website can continued to be used as a resource for anyone making reproductions of Roman military gear. The main updates include some photos of higher quality and resolution.

And most importantly, numerous measurements were added to various pieces. This should help anyone interested in creating reproductions by allowing them to make the pieces with the same dimensions and details. That includes thickness of the brass, wires, sword chape openings, rivet placement etc. etc.
