Ave Oleg,
excuse my quite late answer to your question about my shield, I was really busy :-( oops:
So, I have not an auxiliary shield, but a parma. Sometimes, I also portray a standard bearer in our legion. I hope that my scutum will be ready to use soon for my centurion impression :-) )
But, you are right about the patern on my parma shield- the inspiration is from Traians columm and from later Avrelivs columm. It seems that our legion's patern was at some time really used by the tenth legion (Leg X GPF), but we are not sure about it yet. Main problem, I think, is absence of evidences about shields paintings.
