I, for one, don't believe that you have to participate in Roman Army Talk or any other internet group to be a serious reenactor. There were plenty of serious reenactors before the internet and before RAT.
I am one who doesn't worry is a modern female is in a Roman military unit, if we let fat old guys like me, then probably women who look better in their costume are also welcome.
I shudder each time I see a film that uses these "Roman" helmets with rings on top, to portray the period of Julius Caesar or Augustus Caesar. We know they are WRONG.
I will wait until I see some proof of 'leather segmentata', but we do know that the metal 'segmentata' existed. But since most of the recent films are about Julius Caesar, or the time of Jesus, why use segmentata at all in such films????
