Making a domed Late Roman shield
#29
Quote:Isn't the view that plumbatae would be carried in a quiver?

Was e quiver hung from the belt or on a shoulder strap?

From Vegetius (when discussing the use of martiobarbuli):-
"Every soldier carries five of these javelins in the hollow of his shield."

That's it...everything else is open to personal interpretation.
