That&#8217;s great. Most of us however, really just wish to experience a little slice of life then. A taste if you will. We don&#8217;t wish to be killed.

However, we wish to try the food, to know what caligae feel like after being worn all day. How the armor feels and just &#8220;HOW&#8221; did they wear that piece of gear.
