My new dished oval shield is a great piece of kit, really like it.
The scale gorget is from Al' hamad trading.

Byron and Crispus, looking great! Byron, very much like the scale gorget- looking very Gothic! ( like the latecRoman soldier found buried in Gloucester, now established genetically and by grave goods as a Goth).
Thanks Paul, was wondering what other evidence there was for these, apart from the Carlilse find.

Byron wrote "Thanks Paul, was wondering what other evidence there was for these, apart from the Carlilse find."
I'm not aware of any other scale gorget finds (though there is a solid gorget find shown in Bishop and Coulston, and also the possible parallel of gladiator protection). In sculpture the Alba Iulia statue is ambiguous, but I suspect is a scale coif?
So at this moment, the Carlisle find may be the only one.....for the moment!
OK, thanks. I thought by reference to the Goth, you meant he was buried with a gorget! ad:

Nice one Byron! What's the shield design based on?
I see that the men beside you are wearing what looks like the 'standard Late Roman equipment' of the Forteenth? :wink:
