    Wait, why are there spikes on the inside of the shields? Are they stupid?

      Arrows embedded in the shields - the Parthians were notoriously good horse archers, and by some accounts, their arrows punched right through Roman shields, at least some of the time!

        Ah, I see. Love the attention to detail, like the soldier scratching his back in the middle of the frame!

          Aw, he even has a friend helping him scratch it! Never seen a back-scratcher quite that long, though.
