Scutum designs from late Republican to early(ish) Imperial!

Quote:@ pavel
yeah but how would it work please lemme read what is wrriten inside your shield.

I think that thing with names worked enough because they would likely not use it at all if it was for nothing.Civil war armies also issued watchwords for recognition.Famous story by Tacitus from the battle of Cremona points on shields playing major role in recognition who is who.
