Late-Roman Scuta

[Lucius Aurelius Metellus]

Hi Aitor and Robert,<br>
I hope you guys are doing well! Thanks for the info on the designs for the reverse of the shields. I think that since no other examples have been found, I may paint the back of mine with a design based on other extant Roman artwork. Robert, I'm sure you are correct that some or even most shields may not have been painted, but the Dura example does prove that at least sometimes a soldier had the liberty to personalize his equipment. Since I am an artist, I cannot just go with a plain back... <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
