The 'Ermine street guard' ah yes, that bunch.

He was at Corbridge last year. With some decent artillery 8)

Actually Peroni, if you take a look at Simkins picture he uses the word 'hypothetical' to describe the design. That's always puzzled me as I would have thought it to be perfectly plausible.
If any of you have the book 'Hadrian's Wall in the Days of the Romans' by Donald Embeldon, you will see many wreath based Scuta artworks. What his references were I don't know, but they look well and lets face it, a lot of this stuff is just cosmetic, isn't it :wink:
Remember that famous scene from the film Deliverance...'Sure got a purdy shield'...or...'Squeal like a Batavian boy'... :lol:
