Shields of the antiquity

Even in ancient times, shields were an important protective item in the equipment of many fighters. Since the armor could not yet develop its full protective effect on the whole body, the shields were large and wide to protect a large part of the body.

The legionaries of Rome used a variety of today well known shields, such as the scutum , a large tower shield with excellent protective effect. This could be used excellently against projectiles, especially in the turtle formation known to Roman troops, and was even used in the arena by gladiators. Another shield of the Romans was the Parma , which was flat and of round or oval shape.
