I recognize that P. Flavoleius Cordus's shield could be dished, maybe even a semi-cylndrical oval.
Sculpting in relief has unique problems for the modern viewer in regard to perspective ESPECIALLY if the sculptor carved with the knowledge that it was to be painted to depict a more realistic perspective... wonderful tricky things can be done with shading and tinting! We only see it as it is not as it was.
