Also, use the Iron or silver Gladius too.
I would like you Space Guy, to work on this because you already know the shield script, so it would make less work for you than for someone else.
Effects of the shield:
1) If it gets hit by another pila, it breaks through the shield can it is dropped.
2) Left click to equip, right click to change the position of the shield from the front to the left to the right and then to over your head to back in front of you.
3) When not equipped, it is on your back, protecting your back.
4) It deflects 9/10 arrows and blocks 6/10 sword hits.
5) and of course, a Roman Design.
If you don't want to do this Space Guy, I'm not going to force you, but I would show this is a great idea if you or someother good mod maker did it.
