Hey guys, I was wondering if you could answer some Q's for me. See picture:

Time and place: Garrisons in Judea, AD 4-34-ish
Auxiliary Shield: Assuming that even non-cavalry Auxiliary had round shields, could that shield have been flat? Would they have had the vertical/ horizontal bracing? Would the cap be iron? brass? Bronze? Would the board be faced with leather? Or backed with leather? See picture for more Q’s
Bracae: If 4 – 34 AD is to early for the Legion to wear Bracae, wouldn’t it be fine if the Aux. had them? Even if they’re rare? Shouldn’t they be styling some things from their native lands (assuming they possibly came from Germania-Brittania… I don’t know…)? Teach me!
Lorica Hamata: See picture. Do I have the right idea in the picture? Is that how the back goes?
Thanks!
