Quote:Most modern repros you see seem to be flat. But since there seem to be basically no shield bosses among the findings that were intended to go onto flat shields (e.g. Illerup: Less than ten out of almost 500, among these most are so badly preserved, that no statement can be made) IMO a slightly dished version would be closer to the findings.
Do you think the 3rd century Illerup finds can be used to state this about the parma in the 1st century AD ? :?
Vale,
