Iberian Oval Shield (Scutum) - Untilatie - 11-02-2008 Hi there! This is our last recreation of an iberian oval shield of the I cent. b. C. inspired in archaeological edetanian evidences from Sant Miquel de Llíria (Valencia). It has been made with a base of linden tree wood lamina, calf leather, iron (umbo and nails), linen and a natural adhesive substance obtained from animals. In fact Polibius comments the roman used adhesive from ox despoliations. It's 119 cm. height x 61 cm. width and 5 kg of weight. It's an excellent defensive weapon, truly solid and resistant.
