Scutum Tegimen

[Doc]

Demetrius,

Thanks for the info. This does help signficantly.

However, I have a few questions:

1) Is a slit necessary for the bubble part of the tegimen where the umbo is.
2) How are those straps applied to the tegimen surface.
3) Was the tegimen made of two pieces of leather or more
4) Was the leather used in the originals goat skin or calfskin

Thanks
