Hi
Just working on some scenes set during the Roman conquest of Gaul. While I am familiar with the Republican shield boss umbo found at Mainz illustrated in Connolly and those with delta like side wings from Bishop and Coulston, I have been told that there is another type.
This has small extensions on either side at both the top and bottom of the boss giving a 'T' like effect. Does anyone know the source for this and have any pictures of original archaeological specimens?
Thanks.
Graham.
