Roman Shield - Roman Cavalry Shield

Oval Roman Shield from the flat profile of the type used by the auxiliaries of the Roman army during the I - II century AD

The construction features mirroring those of "scutum" legionnaire, with more layers of wood glued together and covered with leather colored cloth, reinforced rim and brass central boss of the same material.

The symbols reproduced on the outside lead to think of it as belonging to a cavalry unit.
