After lunging my aspis around I think I need a slave to carry it, never mind a shield strap. A 20 mile march with this would be a serious trial.
Giannis, I slung the shield lower on my back, and I can understand what you mean. But I would still want it packed with bedding to make it comfortable. Not all shields seem to have internal ropes, and I suspect they went on the nearest cart :lol:
