Thanks Brian and Christian. The armillae aren't based on any finds, pure artistic license for re-enactment. I know several Roman armillae have been found in Britain, though these seem to be narrower in width and usually have a decorative pattern, rather than motifs. In saying that though, I believe there was one found at Vindonissa with bull motifs. A friend of mine wanted some made with a generic Roman symbol.....so what better than the Aquila.

Beautiful work you guys!
Now excuse my ignorance... where was this worn? Wrist? Bicep?

Thanks Patrick, and as far as I am aware they were worn on the wrist.
