Check this out. I've never seen a piece this bad before. Hopefully I never will.

Yep. That will be an awesomely accurate movie. Romans in leather lorica segmentas, Scottish kilts, woad face paint, and speaking aramaic for accuracy. :twisted:

And naturally, since it's already leather, no subligaculum or tunic is needed!

Add the optional leather subligaculum with pteyruges (and optional codpiece upgrade), and you're set to chafe like the big boys!
