Yes, much like the scutum, but I was thinking with so little protection as it is, a punch with the umbo would leave yo fairly protected, at least comparatively, considering it is a small shield.
Also the deflection aspect is what I am referring to, as with a flat shield, the chances of it coming into contact with more than the umbo is higher, and diminishes the impact.... anyway, it s just an idea!
