Topic	Here's an actual real and authentic shield from ancient Rome
ChainedRedone 12/24/17 6:30:29 PM #29:	DuranOfForcena posted... ^interesting... i'm just wondering whether that bar in the middle where the round piece is missing is where they gripped it, or whether there is a grip and/or straps in a different place. seems like it would be kinda awkward if that visible bar was the main grip, but then again i don't really know much about how that particular kind of shield was used. Yes that's where they gripped it. Contrary to what you'd probably think, it was an overhand grip. Not underhand. --- David Mink.
