The Roman shield, the scutum, was central to the Romans' conquest of the known world, and has become an emblem of the legions at the forefront of that effort. Instead of being purely defensive, the shield became a weapon in its own right. This new study draws on the latest research to reveal the history of this iconic equipment.The introduction of the scutum in the 4th century BC revolutionized the way the Romans fought.
The versatility of the scutum was characterized by the testudo, a formation the Romans used offensively like a pedestrian tank. Using the top edge or boss to punch an opponent, or the lower rim to smash down on their feet, it served to unbalance an enemy and allow the sword to do its work. Meanwhile, other shield types equipped the auxiliaries who fought alongside the legionaries.
