Shield sizes and DB
What size shields give what level of DB?
The examples in low tech are things like:
-The Roman Scutum quoted at 22lb so that is apparently the surviving example from Dura-Europos in Syria that is 105.5 centimeters high, 41 centimeters wide that gives DB 3
-But the Argive Shield that is typically about 1 meter in diameter gives only DB 2
So what size shields should give DB 1, what DB 2, what DB 3?
