a javelin or two as well as his shield and sword when he went into battle. However when on the march, he carried about 70 pounds of gear. (They were not referred to as "Marius" Mules" for nothing) The equipment was strapped to his "fulcra" or carrying pole. Some of the gear he carried was his "dolabra" or digging tool, two wooden stakes, his cooking pot, rations, his shield in its leather cover, and his helmet which was slung over his shoulder.

Who carried Roman shields?

You carry a Roman shield the same way as any other shield. You hold the handle at the back of the shield with your forearm or your hand. In combat, every man carried his shield on his left hand because they were always fighting in formation . On the march, the shield was encased in its cover and slung across its owner's back.
