Avete omnes,<br>
<br>
I am just trying to reconstruct a group of legionaries in paenula and with their covered scutums on the back according with the painting of Angus McBride in Ross Cowan's "Roman Legionary 1 (Osprey's Warrior series)". The painting refers to Marcus Junkelmann's reconstruction of the scutum carrying strap.<br>
<br>
But I don't understand the way of carrying the scutum on the following photo from Junkelmann's march from Verona to Augsburg in 1985:<br>
<br>

<br>
The man on the right has the strap crossing the chest, but in which way is the man on the left carrying his scutum? He has put over his hooded paenula and the scutum on his back - where is the strap?<br>
