FUNNN, ALSO LOVED THE FACT U USED THIS SONGGG
Thoroughly enjoyed this
Can you imagine a thousand of these on line with the army. Impressive. Thank you for the video
Very Good!... #193 {5-13-2024}
Buy a mic the audio is terrible!
So much Info in such a short video, thank you 😀
I'm astonished that *any* leather and wood shields have survived in any form, considering that it's almost two millennia old.
Informative. Good stuff. Very cool
Oh I’d love that game for grandaughter when it’s finished!
Same shield I seen in New haven ct art museum , and the swastika is very popular in the past indians also had the swastika symbol
The most amazing piece for Roman military artifacts I’ve seen is a perfectly preserved military helmet crest at the Army Museum at Vindolanda on Hadrian’s Wall. Truly amazing that it survived through the centuries!
heyyy keep it going
Upvoted, thank you. I’m not visiting England until the English get a handle on their country. London is lawless. The entire place is being thrown to the wolves.
I've been to duras europas, but had never heard it mentioned before or since....until now! Also Mari nearby was amazing! Back view? Could a soldier use it as a groundsheet on wet ground?
Very, VERY interesting! If only that scutum could talk! PRO ROMA!
It's not really complete without a boss, but it is a beauty - like all Roman kit, it's wonderfully thought out. An absolute pig to use in one to one combat... but that's not how the Roman's fought.
A Roman shield with angels? and swastikas on it. Wow!!! A wonder if the swastika symbol meant good luck in those days?
The shield has swastika signs on the 4 corners.
Looters, criminals, scumbags - don't soft peddle what these two guys were.
Did anyone notice the swastika like symbols on the shield?
I visited Dura in 2011 before the war. Amazing site! Dr. Simon James wrote his PhD on the arms and armour found at Dura, and has written several books and articles on the subject. Keep up the good work and good luck with your studies!
🦉🐯 Swastikas @3:42
This Girl is worryingly Promiseing! Bravo! (^_-)
Awesome posters in the background! Raiders, back to the future and… is that the Viking from Jorvik on the toilet ??!? 😅 Great video 👍
It has a very oriental appearance in my opinion. At glance at least.
Im sorry but your audio is utterly awful, if it weren’t for visual context I wouldn’t have been able to understand anything you said.. Jesus
Aside from the red graphics painted - looks pretty similar to what modern swat or riot police use today?
The Dissolution of the monarchy, one of Henry VIIIs lesser known acts, His republicanism has sadly been lost to history... In all seriousness it was all rather interesting lol, good video!
Maybe shields are so rare because they were carried on their shields when they died!
That's utter wrong think. Where did you ever get that idea? That was Spartans only.
Always happy to see love for Rome, it would be great to see a video during Rome's Byzantine period!
How Can you be 100 %Sure this is an authentic 100 % Roman? What do they know? What do you Know?
Thank you, Ms. Bedford! This is so fascinating, and so well presented! No wonder your video was so well received. A surviving leather shield, with the more valuable metal part missing, but with the surviving, discarded rest left for us to admire - a rags to treasure story. Thanks again!
That thing is gorgeous! The movies always show the Romans as all decked out in sharp red. I guess it's true.
Ugh!
Great video Louise-I love the Romans…so far ahead of their time.
Did I catch that right? 41 cm or 16 inches wide? Doesn't sound right.
The swastikas on the shield means good luck
"My socks look worse than that", love it!
Louise, nice presentation.
I love the idea that this is the root for such words as scoot and scootch. 😊
It isn't complete though, it's missing the boss.
Wonderful! I had no idea that there was a Roman shield that still existed! It's also *great* to see a young person who is interested in ancient history like that of Rome! So many young people nowadays seem to only be interested in social media and texting on their phones - nothing else!
It is beautiful. There is at least one company that makes a replica of this shield
I saw your video on the roman shield. So I watched this because I went to the British museum in 1993. I was overwhelmed by it, 3 floors packed with everything. I went into the bottom floor or basement? where they had just tons of stuff they said they had no room for. I think they should give back the Elgin Marbles to Greece. I did notice the swastikas on the roman shields, a symbol of good luck? or the thunder of Zeus? I envy you being an archeology student!
Really cool. Nice to see a young person not denying rome existed.
There are people stupid enough to think Rome did not exist? They presumably have never been to Italy.
hihihi!!
Give her time....she hasn't even got a nose ring yet, lol!
Do some say Rome never existed? Really?
@@mrshankerbillletmein491Nothing would surprise me nowadays 🙄
Well done, kid. I loved history when I was your age, too. I still do. Keep it up.
This Roman shield shows that in the third century the SIGNs OF JUPITER were transformed into a SQUARE and CIRCLE, SYMBOLIZING THE WORLD SOUL, before Constantine later introduced the CHI RHO on shields. . .
Very Interesting video. Audio quality is poor. Too much low frequency, too little high frequency. Makes it sound muffled.
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing your passion! The Romans are never boring!
Why are there swaztikas on the shield? The Nazis had this or the Roman’s had this?
It's an old symbol. One in ancient India too.
