This is great stuff! It looks pretty accurate too. It's interesting to see what the Germanic warriors are using for weapons and shields. The shields all seem to have the central 'rib' on their shields. However, when I see 1st cen. Germanic reenactors, most, if not all, are using cone shaped shield bosses and no ribs on their shields. Would anyone know which design's more accurate, or if both were in use at the same time?

I've been told "both" during the 1st Century, with the trend toward the flat-faced shield with cone-shaped (spiked or unspiked) bosses.
