Aha, that picture looked like it actually was a much shorter dart! How long was it? Good thing you took a picture first!<br>
<br>
Would you have a picture of that new version?<br>
<br>
I presume a too much dished shield would be not possible to hold up to 5 <em>plumbatae</em> unless the method would be totally different from what Crispvs as well as myself came up with.<br>
<br>
Yes, I think more darts were carried in a quiver. Maurikios is writing about a bag/quiver for more ammo, I'm currently looking into that one.<br>
