VEMBRACES

[Tarbicus]

If there is any evidence around that these protections were worn/existed , than I would not have to explain to the public on an event that these are a compromise.

For Romans there's the manica, which can extend to protecting the hand.

I saw pictures and roman re-enactors who wear a padded glove on their shieldhand.
Are the scuta so uncomfortable that you need these?
Might be that some shield rethinking has to be done here.

Unless Romans had smaller hands and modern reconstructions need upscaling? I think this was commented on here recently.
