You won't know until you try it yourself :wink: that's why re-enactors are for, experimenting! so, go ahead!
Hmm...I have to get plumbatae first. Yeah, making them shorter seems to make good sense. Thanks for the tip.
Vortigern,
Very nice 8)
On both of your shields it looks like the plumbatae are held by a metal bar or a leather strip.
