Caesar's Rome is a mod being developed by Outworld Studios. It takes place 60-45 B.C, shortly after Marian Reform of the Roman Legions during Caesar's conquests of Europe & his civil war against Pompey who represented the Senate. Armor (like the Lorica Hamata), weapons, and buildings will be historically accurate for the era. It will have a very similar approach to Napoleonic Wars in the sense of unit type for battles. Players will be able to choose between five confirmed factions; Caesar's Legions, Pompey's Legions, Arverni, Suebi, and Numidia.

shields kinda small tho
Thanks for pointing that out. We will adjust proportions when the mod is integrated.
I honestly think it's the right size! Great stuff
Any chance of Loricas Squamatas as well?
Yeah, most likely for cavalry units.
I first want to say that I am excited for your mod as this period in roman history is my one of my favourite time periods. However I have notice some things that can be improved on. According to your summary, you want the mod to take place between 60 to 45 BC. The helmet in the image, which I think is a Imperial Gallic helmet after noticing the ribbing at the nape. This helmet would not be worn during the time of Caesar.
I recommend sticking to the variants of the Montefortino and the Coolus. This website shows the archaelogical class variants that can be made: Imperium-romana.org
But we must be aware that variants can come in all shapes and sizes. This might be due to head sizes or someone trying to meld both positive elements into one helmet. So their could be a shorter coolus-like Montefortino or a wider montefortino-like Coolus.
While I agree with the width of the shield, I have noticed depictions of the shield being a bit longer lenth-wise. Even though this depiction is a century before this period of time, the roman scuta I think should be a bit longer, reaching at least below the knees: I0.wp.com
Here is another source that is near the marian reform, about 50 years before the time period of the mod: Upload.wikimedia.org

If I could make a seperate comment for suggestions, it would be really cool if you can add these celtic helmets to the mod.
It would be cool to see the Gallic Agen/Port Type helmets: Romancoins.info

I personally like these type because it may be evident of Gallic and Roman ideas mixing, such as this Gallic Montefortino Buggenum with celtic cheek pieces: I.pinimg.com

Sorry for spamming links, these all seem like good representation.
