I am enjoying the photos from fellow gladiators /gladiatrix
However I am (at the moment) fascinated with the various sizing of the thrakian shields people are making and using as they are a lot larger than I had ever envisaged going from terracotta figurines and the odd mozaic.
I am sure that there are reliefs and mozaics that show them as large as folk are making but I cant visualise them specifically. Does anyone have a favourite image to share on this question?
However my real question is this
Have Thrakians using a round shield been totally discounted with the advent of Junkelmans works- or are people still thinking that they could be square or round?
