• top armor overlay in RINGS
• 20 armor colors

A bit of experiment to recreate a 15th century kidney pouch
Pockets are quite modern, back then, cute little bags like these were hung on a belt.
Not sure how well this would hold up in modern day, but a fun little experiment!

Cicero Epistolae ad familiares (Letters to Friends) Ferrara, 1468; scribe: Gregorio Martinello (colophon on fol. 174v) The Free Library of Philadelphia, Lewis E 66 Petrarch had uncovered Cicero’s Epistolae ad Atticum in 1345 in Verona, but it was only in 1392 that Coluccio Salutati brought to light the entire sixteen books that make up the Epistolae ad familiares. Beyond its exemplary style of Latin prose, this collection of letters provided invaluable historical information concerning the final years of the Roman Republic. The present manuscript contains a complete copy of the Epistolae ad familiares, save for the first four letters of book 16, which appear to have been omitted purposefully.
