I wouldn't use that image on a shield. It's a neat one, certainly, but it's from a grave marker as I recall. Best to stick to a known shield emblem whenever possible. There are several good depictions of Praetorians and dozens of Auxiliaries, so it should be possible to find a shield design that catches your eye.
That's just my basic approach to everything: Copy a known artifact or good artwork whenever you can, and you won't have to rationalize or apologize for anything.
Good luck, and welcome to RAT!
