Scutum, Authentic Roman Legionary Shield
- 250.00€
Many replicas of Roman shields do not really correspond to original finds. Size, shape and design deviate considerably from traditional archetypes in many cases. The ULFBERTH®-crew took up this problem and introduced a remarkably more authentic replica on the market.
The size and curvature correspond to Roman shields of about 40 - 200 AD. The shield boss (umbo) and the border are from tinned brass, very similar to the original tinned bronze fittings. Only the fastening of the shield boss, for practical reasons, is done with screws and round screw caps. The back of the shield is reinforced with wooden slats.
