Ars Dimicandi about european Reenactment in german news

[Tarbicus]

Today anyone supports of the efforts (raising weighs as an example) wears one great belt in leather.

A fascia ventralis can be worn beneath metal armour. As for compression of the internal organs, I would suggest that is a sign that your metal segs do not fit properly, which would also explain why your building efforts in metal segs had rather unfortunate results.

And who supports that it is much inferior.

A simple test - ask someone to make a choice of metal or leather seg before this happens to them:

Unless you've actually tried that out? :wink:

All he is from discovering as well as how much is from discovering, still today, which part of the roman army belonged the seg in iron if its reconstruction is right.

Quite possibly both legionary and auxiliary, given the contexts of the finds. I find it strange though that the evidence given in the Columns clearly depicts legionaries wearing segs and auxilia wearing hamata, which has actually been cited for the unreliability of the supposed split between armour types for those two parts of the Roman Army, yet those artefacts are used as clear indication that the leather seg existed because that is what the sculptors have possibly depicted. If that clear difference in armour types in the sculptures is probably wrong, then surely the details of the segs must be held up as thoroughly questionable also?

For a true comparison it is necessary to wear and to work with the two armors. We have made it.

I would be interested to see how your tests compare to a real Roman soldier's duties and circumstances? I am not questioning your efforts, please understand that, but even if your efforts are better than anyone else's it still doesn't make them 100% accurate, and your conclusions could still be 90% wrong.

Addendum: 90% wrong in some cases.
