scutum covering again

[martijn.wijnhoven]

Although a book that concerns the Middle Ages, Der Mittelalterliche Reiterschild from Jan Kohlmorgen, might be of help. It consist of two parts, the first section is an in dept analysis of remaining kite shaped shields; the second part concerns the building of such a shield for the reenactor. The writer gives quite a lot of information about glues and leather coverings. I guess this information and his experience might also be interesting to the Roman reenactor as it gives a framework of what is possible.
