Salve,
Is there any evidence that round smaller style shields were used by the Romans in the late Republican to early Imperial times?
Would a shield, such as the one below, be acceptable for recreation? Could it be used with an officer’s impression in Recreation?
Obviously, all the ‘ageing’ & ‘antiquing’ would be redone, the shield would look bright and painted vibrantly but… can it be used in recreation?
Opinions?
