I don't intend stir anything up, but I have another couple of newbie questions about making a parma.
Are y'all using the same basic construction as for the scutum?
If so, what is the prevailing thought about the shape of the reenforcement on the back? Is it circular (built up with curved segments like a wagon/ships wheel) or rectangular in shape (as in the photo of a clipus reconstruction somewhere on this site)?
