Greave and shield boss designs
#1
Saw a picture of this great greave on Fabrica Augustana's site in the Market place section.
I noticed a real design similarity between this greave

And the Guttmann shield boss
Are they linked? Found in the same place?

The images are quite common during the late 2nd and 3rd century, so they just fit very well into the canon. Big Grin

Bizarre! Confusedhock:

I was looking at a picture of this greave online yesterday (romancoins?)

And I had the exact same thought. I nearly emailed you Caballo, as I know you have a copy of the Guttmann boss!
