A Roman Legionary of the reign of Marcus Aurelius
#6
Ring pommel gladius probably came into wide use directly during Marcommanic wars.As for rectangular shield-many legionaries still certainly used it BUT not all.Oval shields started to dominate in the army in this very time and contemporary iconography also show us type of shield which seems to be a mix of rectangular with oval shield.
