does anyone know of any sculptural (or other) evidence for the kind of shield devices used by the legions in the East (by preference 2nd century AD)? I would assume they were very similar to those depicted frex on monuments in Rome, but I may be mistaken there.<br>

Thanks<br>

The collection of tombstones of Legio III Parthica (early 3rd C) in Apamea might be interesting here, but it hasn't been published in full. Moreover, most 3rd C tombstones don't show separate shields. <p>Greets<br>

Sounds good. Who published them, and where? <p></p><i></i>

That's the trouble. Some have been published (Balty & Van Rengen, Apamea), but most haven't. In fact, it looks like they're going to be published here on the Imagebase first. <p>Greets<br>
