Reconstruction- Real Scutum Mini-Test

[Matt Lukes]

Thanks Paul- indeed I love to learn this kind of practical stuff. We can theorize until the cows come home but all too often something we'd have never expected will show up under actual trial. I've been thinking that the damage I might do to a full-sized complete scutum of this type wouldn't be catastrophic and could indeed be some cool 'battle scars' so when I get the time to make my own, I'll try a few things on it- pilum, hasta, falx (when I make one of those), and definitley arrows.
