Marching with Spears and Pila

[Magnus]

"Then again, if you were on a long march, would you not have your pilum/s
lashed to your scutum, otr the carrying t-pole, with more of your gear? "

No, Gaius Marcus, of course not. You need to put your entrenching tool there. Your (for example) lego, dolabra etc lies along the carrying pole with its head hooking over your left shoulder whilst your pila are carried over the right shoulder.

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought the pila were lashed to that as well.
