Quote:I´d rather say that during the second century the clipeus came more and more into use and the rectangular scutum was used less and less. [...]AFAIK clipeus is the word the Romans used to describe the hoplite shield (aspis in Greek). The oval shield was called scutum, just like the rectangular one.
