Scutum on the mausoleum of Munatius Plancus
#10
Quote:But the shields on these pictures are oval

That scutum does not look oval to me, it looks squared with the shorter segments in perspective (and round angles) like this:

But I can be wrong...

Vale,
TITVS/Daniele Sabatini

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...


Vergilius, Bucolicae, ecloga IV, 4-10
