Trapezoidal Shields (Split from \'type of helmet\' thread)
#5
Also, page 170 of Warfare in the Classic World shows a carving of the Battle of Arausio. A soldier on the far left of the carving is using a trapezoidal shield, slightly curved at the top and narrow at the bottom, almost rounded. The others are too obscured to really show.

In the same book, page 152 shows the Glanum Monument in France. The figure on the far right has a similar shield, but a bit more rounded overall, almost resembling a Normal kite shield.
