I see...it's a very interesting subject. So if I understand correctly, the tipically reconstructed flat parma for standard-bears is more a convention based in sculptural evidence than in actual findings, because we can not assess if any of the rounded umbones we know (being flat-flanged or not) belonged to parma-like shields or not.
