The Dura shields seem to be painted with encaustic colors. I have no Idea what color was used on the Trier shields. I assume that there were regional differences as well, it is more probable that in the northern provinces casein paints were used, which were fixed with lineseed oil or similar products, as is the case for the medieval shields. <p></p><i></i>
