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.

easily during close combat, preventing easy disablement
by the attacker.
