Countdown to Open Beta - SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS

[metatron]

The shields went through a period of evolution; the early scutum was much different from the later scutum that you are used to seeing.

Officers and standard bearers will be added, of course. These are low on the priority list.

Actually, I made a mistake; the Reformed Cohort appears to be using the earlier shields, where the veterans appear to be using the prototype of the imperial shield. So, I commend you for what appears to be a difference between the veterans and the regular cohorts in their scutum, reflecting that the veterans probably did carry the shorter, but lighter shield.

But about the capes and the crests...
