Roman camp - units of measure used by Polybios
#6
The one I mention is four modern feet, which was supposed to be made to the same dimensions as the Egyptian scutum.....
I have another republican scutum of smaller dimensions, which I quite like.....I can use the other one to sneak up on the enemy unseen!! :roll:
I'll measure the smaller one and see if it is closer to the dimensions you mention. Just for my own curiosity more than anything.
Glad you brought this up now! Smile
I always maintained I would have been a six foot Roman :lol:
