De Legione Romana is an open space, created for deepening the own knowledges and to actively participate.
The immediateness of the publication doesn't allow preventive filters, so utility depends from your collaboration and from the good sense.
Caligae
These are the classical footwears of the Roman army, so solid that they were resistant to the incessant and gruelling marches that characterized the Legions and they were able to glue the feet to the ground, important thing during the fights (Available in the Italian Section).
Fibula et focale
Finally after the guides that describe the principal garments of the legionary I have inserted this brief article that illustrates two objects often used by the soldier: the fibulae to gather tunics and cloaks and the focalia to protect the neck from the wearing out of the lorica (Available in the Italian Section).
Sagum vel paenula
How the soldiers protected themselves from the cold and from the rain: dressing the sagum or equivalently the paenula. It follows a brief description of these two types of winter cloaks, different for form and size (Available in the Italian Section). This page instead contains the changes and the innovations (towards the original) that will be introduced from time to time.
The vallis
Or the pole for the palisade, has a simple double pyramid squared form with a central "handle" and it can be employed in many ways according to the camp necessities. The original and full version was written by Matthew R. Amt and is available here.
Pteruges
Directly or less tied up to subarmalis, these mobile nastriformis ornaments with fringes applied in the ends, are seen to emerge in the shoulders and in the zone of the groin and they are often found in the statues of Roman soldiers that wear a lorica hamata or squamata, very rarely under the lorica segmentata (available in the Italian Section).
Subarmalis vestis
The Latin term indicates a kind of tunic that doesn't cover the arms, to the miles it was a garment brought under the armor for protect the tunic and the body from the rubbing and the dirt produced by the lorica, above all for the oils and fats used to preserve the metal from the corrosion (available in the Italian Section).
Tents: details
After a brief survey on the types of tents and them sizing, follows an article that describes in detail the materials and the seams for their tailoring.
Tents in Roman Camp
Some news about the three types of tents used in the Roman camp and their short description, the original and full version was available at the follow link (now it is broken!): Camps
How to make a Roman Legionnaires Tunic
Simple guide that explains how to realize the legionary's base suit, how to wear it, what materials use and a few advices to preserve the fabric (Available in the Italian Section). This page instead contains the changes and the innovations that I will introduce from time to time.
