Nice shield, but I doubt the shield boss on a Thraex shield (sorry :oops: ...). Just checked a number of depictions and statuetes and where the shield is clearly visible I could not find anything like a shield boss.
A few depictions show the the shield from the back side, btw, mostly with a vertical grip, although the little statuette posted by Gaia Aelia above has a horizontal one as far as I can make out.

Cheers,
Martin
