Well, there's no evidence for anything like that, as far as I know. Some bosses were sort of hexagonal, with horizontal top and bottom with a shallow point on either side, or with the sides curving outwards (like the "Augustan" curve-sided scutum).<br>
<br>
I don't think there'd be much objection to simple round bosses. But square or rectangular seems to be the usual way to go.<br>
