Are you looking at Auxilliary archers?? Because that will change a lot in terms of shield pattern

also, It is my opinion (I have little data to back this) that an archer would not carry a shield. You need two hands to work a bow, and I personnaly would drop the shield as soon as I got into a battle situation.
