Roman Wrist Guards, Cuffs or Bands for the Roman Soldier Uniform
For me, nothing beats the "warrior look" other than with a pair of mean-looking wrist bands or wrist guards. Sometimes they're also called wrist cuffs. I've made these before for a Mercury or Hermes (the god of speed) costume.

Roman Apron Belt, Battle Skirt or Groin Guard
One of the accessories truly distinctive of a Roman soldier's military uniform is the Roman apron belt. It is sometimes called the leather war or battle skirt and forms part of the belt (Cingulum militare). The apron essentially protects the lower part of the soldier's body particularly the groin. Hence it is also referred to as the groin guard.

Tunic and Cloak Attachment in the Roman Soldier Uniform
For Roman Soldier uniform costume, I didn't want to permanently attach the cape or cloak to the tunic shirt. I wanted an option for my son to put it on or remove the cloak from the tunic shirt as needed.

With barely a week to prepare for my son's monologue speech from the "Florante at Laura" poem, I'm happy that we were able to produce a convincing (at least to us and his classmates) Roman soldier uniform - given the limited time.
So let's dissect the parts and accessories that made up the Roman General/Soldier Uniform costume that we put up together.

It's that time of the year again in school when students are gearing up for speech contests. In the recent past, speech choirs have been the trend. It seems that this year, individual speeches are on the comeback.
Personally, I'd rather have students give individual speeches rather than perform in speech choirs. Speech choirs require them to meet together at an agreed place and practice a set choreography for the group. Individual speeches give the students the freedom to be more creative on their own. And individual speeches may be practiced conveniently at home.

In my modification, for example, I revised the horns slightly to make them look more "bony", hence a bit more realistic. This would make them less rounder or fuller which contributed to that "clip-arty" look. The overall length of the antler didn't change.
Be sure to put the final drawing on a folded piece of paper. In the drawing, I simply moved the shorter horn and added a third one. Do the modified sketches in pencil. When ready, complete the outline with a pen marker.

This Christmas, I've broached again the question on what theme we'll be having for the Christmas picture. In the previous years, we've had the color themes. So we've had blue, red, yellow, white, green and gray. Colors we've not used yet include orange, pink, and violet. Since three of us already have orange shirts, we finally decided on taking the orange theme. The three girls who did not have orange shirts went on to buy new shirts!
