Good evening! Great photograph, thank you for sharing.
You may have noticed a thread which points out that many of the RAT Forum are not on Facebook. So if you would like to add a couple more photographs, please do so either here or under the "Show your Roman Impression " thread as it would be a shame for them to be missed.

Very nice choices of color. Well done!
The beige sagum with the round decorations, are those woven into the fabric? Wonderful stuff!

I wish to take for to say that we are treading real late roman mosaics and we can't understand this museologic treatment. Is perfect for us because we tread literaly the same mosaics that our ancestors but is realy hard for his conservation (I think).

Sorry but I confused because of language. the round decorations are not woven into fabric, are embroidered.

Thank you for the clarification. From enlarging the picture my wife and I were sure it must have been one or the other. Clearly it was not a separate piece sewn on. Beautiful work, any way you look at it.

You're absolutely right, I'm well aware of that but Dextrus is an eccentric uncorrectable. Now seriously, Alfonso really has not yet an own belt. He wears a borrowed Deepeeka and comes to him small. He needs to do his own belt.
