Making Pteruges (or at least trying to make Pteruges!)
#96
Quote:Felt, lnen/textile, and parchment/rawhide have been cited as Roman shield layers, but no mention of your usual run-of-the-mill leather, AFAIK. Anyone know of any, perhaps from Illerup? Christian?

Roman:
First century shield from doncaster, Buckland, britannia 1978
Dura europos, waterer, leather and the warrior, 1981 (not sure of original report here)

Contemporary:
Clonoura shield, Raftery, La Tene in Ireland, 1983
numerous shields, iron age cemeteries in east yorkshire - stead -1991

we need more ?
