Is there any historical evidence of any artistic details of Crests?
I guess what I am asking is... The curved part usually wood? Where there any that had carvings or engravings in them? Anything that was added to it? Brass, Bronze?
I am asking not only about Centurions, but Legionaries as well.
Were they plain? Would any of them have a design on them that would distinguish their Legion or Cohort?
Would a soldier have been allowed to customize it? Just curious... when designing my Kit and Impression. Thinking ahead. Thanks for any input.
