Read the book, going to make a new shield soon.
Saw the Illerup/Adal and Nydam shields last year during vacation/event in Denmark.
I like the Roman-Iron age scandinavian "germanic" style.
It is a long way from the known limes.
Trading there was, but still there is a distinct difference between the "Scandinavian" and the "Gallo-Germanic-Roman" style known from within the limes.
This raises another question/debate for another topic:
What is "typical" Celtic,Roman,Germanic etc. during the Roman era .
I don't mean here certain "stereotypes" which have been created during the last 200 years.
