I finally went to my first event! I made the clothes and used loaner equipment. The clavi on the tunic did not turn out as dark as I would have liked, but a new dye should fix that. I wove the fabric from a warp weighted loom and dyed it myself. There's a linen under tunic. Everything is sewn with fine linen thread. A friend wove the Focale on a table top loom out of linen and wool.
I fell in with the 6th Legion in South Carolina. Big thanks to Rusty Myers for the loaner gear and providing a place to have a nice 1st century time travel experience.
