Hi Lucius,<br>
<br>
Scuta may not have been painted on the back at all. A good example of this is the Villa Romana del Casale mosaics (aka Piazza Armerina), which' mosaic of 'The Great Hunt' shows ample detail. Lots of shields are shown, most or all painted on the front. However, [url=http://sights.seindal.dk/photo/2874,s456f.html" target="top]this one[/url] shows a shield from the back, which does not seem to be painted at all.<br>
