Help reconstructing a 5th-6th C. scutum
#10
Hi Travis,

No, I don't mind at all Big Grin

I can only answer a few questions though....

The shield measures 42.5" tall by 35" wide

Yes, they are planks and each plank measures 2 inches wide

While laying flat on the ground, it rises about 2 to 2.5 inches (hard to say) not including the boss

It is faced with linen

Shield thickness at the edge is about 3/4" and I think that is consistent with the rest of the shield's thickness

It was very costly - over $500 and there's the shipping costs from Europe :wink:

Hope that helps a little

I can take some detailed pics if you like.
Jaime
