Roman
Scutum Shield |
| |
 |
The
Scutum literally "shield", was the main
form of body protection of the Roman soldiers
in the 1st Century. It served the purpose to deflect
missiles targeted at the soldiers, as well as
protect them from the impact of hand held weapons
wielded at them. The shields large size allowed
the soldiers to form a "tustudo'' or shield
wall that could protect them during an advance.
These large barriers also were able to swivel
easily during close combat, preventing easy disablement
by the attacker.

Praetorian Shield
|
|
|
The Praetorians used the oval shield
early in their history is guaranteed by the
tombstone from Aquileia. They were in continuous use
into the reign of Domitian (AD 81-96). This has been
taken to contrast with the rectangular scutum
adopted universally by the legions in the first half
of the 1st Century. By the end of the 2nd century,
both public and private monuments show a return to
the oval shield for both Legionaries and
Praetorians, although a 3rd Century example of Dura
Eoropos proves that the rectangular scutum did
survive.
