.....P.S - For a modern example of 'troops' armed like Iberians/Romans with scuta changing over their lines, and how rapidly it could be done, even in combat, see the post of Tarbicus, especially the "treat", of clips of South Korean riot police training, on the thread 'Late Roman Formations'
It gives plenty of food for thought, especially to those who think it could not be done !! D lol:
