Scutum carrying strap

[Gaius Longius]

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
Regarding carry straps for the scutum, I've just read this information on another thread which might change people's ideas:-<br>

..... Also. A suspension ring was mounted in the eleven o'clock position (as seen from behind the shield) about two thirds of the way from the center.<br>
Methinks every reenactor should get Simon James' book.<br>

Having fitted this ring to my own scutum, a single strap threaded through the carry handle and this ring is all that's required, mounted over the right shoulder, to carry the scutum.<br>
<br>
I hope to post a photo of this at a later date.<br>

Salvete.<br>
