![[Picture: 97.—Roman Soldiers.]](https://www.fromoldbooks.org/OldEngland/pages/0097-Roman-Soldiers/0097-Roman-Soldiers-q90-687x704.jpg "[Picture: 97.—Roman Soldiers.]")
Three Roman soldiers are shown: one with a round shield and two short spears or arrows, one with a tall shield obviously for riot control, and a long spear or javelin, and one seated on the ground.
[...] the mailed soldiers have laid down their shields and javelins (Fig. 97) to mingle in that common worship which made the Roman and the Barbarian equals.
See Fig. 91 for the full text.
