New Design Auxiliary Shields

Both patterns based on the dimensions of the Valkenburg oval shield cover. These are linen faced and backed. Roman shields of the first C tended to have brass edging (lots of that has been found). One will be infantry and the other a cavalry design. Both designs obviously are taken from Trajan's Column. They are available for anyone that wants to use them as an alternative to the other off-the-shelf patterns that we sell offered by XXXXXXXX. The ESG in the UK have a section of auxiliaries that use a similar design to the red one but in very dark blue. LEG XI in the US have the blue version of the cavalry shield. Their Centurio and their shield painter (a lady artist) let us use their interpretation of the graphic. Here's the finished shields.. An excellent job of painting by Daniyal Steel Crafts. - Marcus Ulpius Peronis COH I BATAVORVM MCRPF http://www.armamentaria.com/

• Hey those are pretty nice! Great designs! - Legio XIIII GMV. (Q. Magivs)RMRS Gaius Julius Caesar/ was Marcus/Byron Angel
• Really nice. I think, my group need completly new shields, The right one looks like a modification from the cavalryshield in scene CIV. The left one looks like modification from the auxillaryshield in scene CXXVIII. Both from Trajanscolumn. Brass edgings are always better as rawhide i think! On my second scutum, i used stitched on rawhide, thats terrible work which last hour after hour! 2 Days later, nearly half of the rawhide ripped of when i make a training fight!- Optio Marcus Athenobarbus COH.

• Peroni's dimensions accord well with the mid-1 century AD Valkenberg shield covers, which were made for flat oval shields - Paullus Scipio/Paul McDonnell-Staff
