Wide Roman Scutum w/ Rectangular Boss
Imagine yourself standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your fellow legionaries, your Scutum forming an impenetrable wall against barbarian hordes. This shield, the widest we've ever offered, provides unparalleled protection from head to toe. The polished steel rectangular boss isn't just for show - it's a formidable weapon in close combat, ready to punch through enemy defenses.
The Scutum was the iconic shield of the Roman legions, evolving from an oval shape to the rectangular, semi-cylindrical form you see here. Its curved design was a stroke of genius, deflecting blows and missiles more effectively than flat shields. This replica captures the essence of the shields used during the height of the Roman Empire, allowing you to connect with the tactics that conquered the ancient world.
