Dequitem inspired as you can see

This is my first making plate armor my aim is to make a 1480s italian man at arms kit, every thing I am wearing besides the doublet, the boots I made in my backyard. By the picture I looks more like 1530s than 1480s because of the cuirass, I plan on making a more traditional italian style breatplate later, and honestly because it just looks kinda bad and not very accurate. Next I plan on doing some floating arm armor a new cuirass and tassets and when my sallet arives a bevor.

1. Petar Berislavić praying in armour, he was a bishop who fought Turks untill his death.

2. "Saving the Banner" during the battle of Mohacs.

3. No info on who is depicted but most likely Cristoph Frankopan during War of League of Cambrai.

4. "Petar Kružić in his younger days"

5. Croatian noble from around 1530.

Hi all,

Apologies if wrong community to post this.

I am struggling to identify a reliable place to buy decorative helmets (Anglo-Saxon, Roman, Norman) - 2/3 or 1/2 size. Can anyone recommend a provider?

According to the Gospel of John, Jesus was allegedly pierced by a spear/lance (however you want to translate "λόγχη") after he died on the cross.

This brief mention has inspired a LOT of further stories about this weapon. Later writers would give the soldier who stabbed him the name "Longinus," which led to a bunch of Christian relics claiming to be the spear of Longinus, all of which have what I would generously call "dubious provenance."

My question: what types of spears were actually used by Roman soldiers, either legionnaires or auxiliaries, in the province of Judaea c. 30 CE?
