Going to borrow this and just periodically post it on the EDC forums.

What period? Early republic, I'd guess.
PugJesus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Mid-Late Republic, I think. Early Republic would resemble a hoplite's kit.

Every Hopilite carries a dead Persian as a conversation piece.

That's a lot of gear to maintain. What is the cross-bar wooden stake thing on the left? Is it a bow rack?

A furca, legionaries marched with their pack on it!

Oh wow. That's way worse than a backpack. But I guess it's way better when you have to carry a shield, and may need to dump your gear and fight at a moment's notice.
