Is it so credible ?
Excuse my english !
I think that the handgrip was verticale, to take somme javelins ...
But this supposition is very interessant !
But there are some shields like this one in German/ celtic population .....
With the handgrip verticale......
This schied was for an auxilairy infantry or Cavalery....????
For the infantery : it's a light shield for "artilleurs", to attack ennemi and going to protect legions ..."It is not very good for the contact..."
