Scutum on the mausoleum of Munatius Plancus

[MeinPanzer]

Is it what you're looking for?





I add this interesting helmet too...



Vale,

I have a number of other reliefs like this, set up in metopes with triglyphs in between, from some other sarcophagi. I think it was a popular style of the 1st C. BC, and the shields are definitely the first century style, oval in shape with the top and bottom cut off. I don't know the provenance of these, unfortunately:
