Oval Scutum in use 1st Century A.D.?
#16
LonginusXXI: So far I have not seen evidence for "really" flat Roman shields apart from sculpture. So I suppose, the flat shields are more an artistic thing. So, curved, probably. The Berlin fresco shows them curved, e.g., and is mid- to later fist century.

Bryan: Yes, and Masada.
