when were the Danum shields used??

[jkaler48]

Is it so credible ?

Excuse my english !

I think that the hand grip was vertical, to take some javelins ...

But this supposition is very interesting !

But there are some shields like this one in German/ celtic population .....

With the hand grip vertical......

This shield was for an auxillia infantry or Cavalry....????

For the infantry : it's a light shield for "artilleurs", to attack enemy and going to protect legions ..."It is not very good for the contact..."

I agree that a vertical hand grip is most effective in allowing extra javelins
to be carried while throwing one with the other hand. It may have been the hand grip of choice for some light troops as you propose. I have tried carrying extra javelins with a standard hand grip Cliptus and it is
difficult to carry the javelins so that they don't endanger your own troops.
