Unbalanced Scutum

[Gaius_Calvus]

As to brass edging, I am not sure where you could buy it ready made, but I edged mine in brass using the instructions found here:

I have attached a photo of my scutum. I used .020" or .5mm brass sheet for mine, cut in accordance with the instructions from the website.

I bought a 20cm x 20cm piece of steel, 3/8" thick, for a cheap price to make rounded corners as well. I used square corners on mine, and made a rim for another member of our legio with rounded corners using this jig.

I also have a large number of photos of the process that might be helpful.

Regards,
