If I recall correctly we don't have concrete proof, but one can draw evidence from a number of sources:
~ Art images are varied. Stillicho's diptych shows his at about half his height, Piazza Armerina figures have some that are knee to throat.
~ Circular Nydam planked shields of 0.8-0.9m are similar in various ways to the oval planked C3rd Dura shields L 1.07-1.18m X 0.92-0.97 W, 8-12mm thick.
