Greetings,

I saw a very nice replica of a late roman shield last weekend (approximately third cent. ad).

It was an oval convex/dished type of shield, now I'm wandering, is it possible to make this "at home"??? Or does one require "specialized equipment" do do so?

How do you get the dished shape? How do you bend in all directions?

I know Vortigern was planning on making him one of these shields, did he have any luck?

Thanks,

Caius Titius Verus
