Well, i decided to get off my butt and start attempting to rebuild the costume of a soldier serving the Legio II Parthica cica 210-250 (when all the cool stuff happened, like their battle with the Praetorians)
Basically, I need some information on the shield device of them. I know that their Legion emblem was a centuar, but does anyone know what they used as a shield blazon? Any info at all would help a lot.
Also, in my Osprey book Imperial Legionary 210-263, the plates by Angus Mcbride of the soldiers around 215-263 shows they wearing a belt that looks a lot like this:![[Image: w2550rt.jpg]](http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/images/w2550rt.jpg)
Is this accurate? I know Angus Mcbride can sometimes take an idea and run with it a little too far, so I was wondering if anyone else thinks this style of belt would be appropriate.
All help would be appreciated. Thanks!
