Any evidence of the parma being around for early second century auxilary archers or guys bearing the small throwing spears (velites)? Just wondering, as a small round shield would serve to offer some protection to an archer against cavalry riding in on the flanks.
By the way, any info on the size of velites spearheads and shaftsize and length?? Were they around in 160 ad?
