Taras | Caroline
Not as such though I have read a bit about them. And yes, I did tend to stand out among the other legionaries. I was raised as a Roman though so I never felt out of place. I will look them up. I have already read the books that I am from.
Yes, I did have to laugh when I saw the pictures. He looked much like anyone else from that area of the world. He was unremarkable until he spoke. People would flock to hear him speak.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to wear one but I suppose everything is novel when you don't have to wear it all the time. Historically themed parties? Are these common?
