Quote:It is interesting to see this reported new re-interpretation is in fact old news, 26 years old !
It's worth pointing out that the confusion arose in the first place because one of the sets had been repaired with a shoulderguard taken from another set and mounted with the point outwards. So far as I can see, a re-enactor could plausibly wander around with one shoulderguard pointing inwards and one out! It may not sound very 'military' , but it is very Roman ;-)
