Ave, my fellow rat members.
Again i enlist your advice. :wink:
I'm interested about the colors used on the legion scuta.
Were all the scuta red? :?
Red is the predominate color that i have seen.
Did legions have different colored scuta to help identify them?
also did the republican scuta have the legion "crests" (for the use of a better word) painted on them or were they a plan solid color?
Tunic color is another subject and the debate goes on as to actual "assigned" legion color e.g.red, yellow, white, blue, etc, etc or whatever colored cloth the legion /legionary could appropriate for use. though somewhere i read that the VI wore a yellow tunic when stationed in the east?
if there are posts covering these questions and someone would direct me to them to avoid being redundant, thats good too!
thanks,
