Legionary shield markings...

[Peroni]

Thanks Crispvs, I also used thes pieces for my own shield! They did do as Brian and Mike suggested - the fitted on the shield face at the corner point of the rear bracing. I riveted mine on - which would, I think add a little strength, but I also agree with Matt Lukes that a curved ply shield should be strong enough to not need any bracing. Perhaps the shields of antiquity were less so(?) animal glues adhesive properties can degrade in damp conditions. :wink:
