<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8027405, member: 26302"]Well, when in doubt, I tend to believe the celator who saw the armies with their own eyes if it was contemporaneous. Kind of like you should trust someone who lived in the 60's versus a millennial historian who reads about the 60's. Maybe the transition started but the square shields were for formal occasions? I love to buy the XXXX Byzantine follis because modern teachers still teach the "rule" that XXXX is not allowed in ROMAN lettering. Sorry, if the ROMANS did it, its "allowed".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
