Polybius\' description and the Fayum scutum
#20
Crispus (not Paul :wink: )

Thank you,

Quite understood - and I certainly wasn't suggesting that any (reasonable) shape of shield overhead (and to the side if necessary) wouldn't afford a reasonable degree of protection at least.

When I suggested the 'ideal' (for men standing next to each other front and back), it's merely that simple square/rectangular would be the easiest.

Goodness - if just the man in the middle could wield a single and expandable shield of large circular proportions, then he could cover everyone like a big umbrella! Confusedilly:
