Ah yes, the Roman Hercules Belt. I've read about it before... if you get a picture, I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd love to see it...

Don't worry, if I find it, I'll certainly scan it!

Did you consider that such stylish belt could make you look even more charismatic? I read that hymn in the last Oak Leaves, haha, twas brilliant.

It was pretty good. It's even better when she calls me up on stage to read it to me in front of everyone at a festival. I play along, and it's fun ;)

Very, very short skirts. I know: I own a tunic just like that. . .

Alas, no lorica segmentatae, though.

I wore the tunic several years ago when I took my patron oath for ADF. . . It's an oath no longer required by ADF, where I made an oath to my specific patrons individually the night of my Dedicant Oath (or was it the night before? I think it was the night before. . . off to check!).

. . . are you aware of the existence of a Gallo-Roman column in the Dijon Archaeological Museum that depicts (among others) Esus-Mars?

No, but I'm starting the look now. Do you have any more information, or perhaps remember where you heard about it?

Seeing it at the museum was the first I'd heard of it, and I tried to take pretty thorough pictures, including the plaque with the description (I had the feeling you might want them). ;)
