I recently saw a video about the Traveling Exhibit of Legionary Armor. This exhibit was created and is run by a man named Silvano Mattesini. He is a historian and an architect and finds many of the pieces for his exhibit himself. Some of his pieces include Roman soldier armors and gladiator armors.
