The kalkriese seg was tinned.....or at least some of the buckles I believe.
So shiney would be a byproduct.....and impressive on the field. True the shield would cover most of you in final battle formations, but as you approached and faced off with the enemy, your scuta would be to your side....giving the sad sods facing you a good view of what they don't have... Smile
