Hi Robert!<br>
I sent the mail to the address you gave me, it may be a problem because of being in different countries? I am just guessing...I also tried twice to e-mail you on the Fectio site, but I don't know if my mail is getting through.<br>
I will ask you the questions here. I wanted to know what was the measurement in inches that you placed your nails apart on the plywood to mark off your shield?<br>
Also, I have seen on one reenactment site from Britain that the "dots" in the ends of the spoke pattern on the insignia for the Secunda Britannica were painted black, and I notice that yours were painted pale blue, and on another site about the Notitia Dignitatum they look very dark, but the image is so small I cannot make it out. I know you have done research on the Notitia Dignitatum, and I was wondering if you can help me with the correct color for the "dots". I thought that perhaps if I couldn't arrive at a conclusion, I would paint mine a dark navy blue to strike a "happy medium", but I would much rather paint it as the Notia describes or shows it, if it can be determined.<br>
Anyway, those were the questions that I wished to ask you. Mainly if you could convert your measurements to inches for the shield measurements and let me know? Sadly, I was NEVER good at metrics in school... <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
