Addendum to Centurio Design

Redesigned for Better Historical Accuracy

I had to change some things after I did further research to better reflect how the uniform might have looked. Changes made: added the Phalerae (battle decorations) onto his Lorica Hamata, put the Pugio and Gladius in their proper place, and made the Tunica red. Also, I didn't like the previous pose with the Vitis. This gives him the look that befits his nature.

Things still might change, but I feel more confidant with this look.

Clothing Study for a New Project

Surprise, surprise! 

I have something else in the works...

...with more to follow in subsequent weeks. 

Until then, here is a sneak peek.

Based on an actual historical figure, Marcus Cassius Scaeva, whom served in the legions with Julius Caesar, and then later with his great-nephew, Augustus. His achievements are beyond anything I could feebly say in this humble blog, but I would advise you, if you're interested, to start with the following links. He shan't disappoint.

Here is a more, ahem, 'colourful' write-up about the man... Source

And, here is a more literary rendition of his achievements... Source
