However, these round shield bosses also appear in context with Legionaries. To make the round shield bosses exclusively auxiliary items seems a bit overinterpreted IMO. In fact, the rectangular shield bosses do not occur that often as they should, if they were extensively or exclusively used by the legions. IMO the clipeus / oval shield was much more in use by legionaries than we may think.
