I am selling a copy of a Roman shield for reenactors in original size.

This style of shield was copied from grave steles for legionnaires and trajan's column (see below) in Rome.

It is made from 1/2" strong plywood with a linen surface and a rim and a buckle of brass.
It weighs abt. 5 kgs. ( lbs).

Out of our production we have left a few shields unpainted for modern legionnaires who want to paint their cohort's design on their shield.

Shield dimensions:
Overall height : 100 cms. (39.3 inch)
Overall width : 56 cms. (22.04 inch) measured around the curve.

Its brass buckle can be easily mounted and de-mounted by 8 screws with brass knobs on top as shown on my photo.

Now, see the image of a Roman warfare "testudo", the protective screen of overlapping shields held overhead and on the sides:
