If I recall well, the only thing that was hel inside a shield were the plumbatas (probably, those of the short kind), which Vegetius mentions that were carried inside the shiled's concavity. Longer javelins (even plumbatas of the longer sort) were probably carried in quivers, like Mauritius states...<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
