when were the Danum shields used??

[Peroni]

OK! last post from me on this I promise! D

I broke my promise... (Ifound a photo of my old reconstruction) :wink:

But the practical dimensions point to either a vertical handhold or a shield built for two (or I suppose, a Celtic giant).
Practical reconstructions confirm that this "works".

Here's my reconstruction and, secondly what it would look like if horizontally positioned scaled-up to the dimensions in my earlier drawing..
(Yes, the star pattern is from Trajan's Column)
Normal..(after Buckland)


With the 85cm grip bar positioned horizontally on a flat board... If it WERE horizontal it would Have to be a curved shield. Like the typical scutum.
