not trying to be an *** but these sheilds seem alittle round for roman shields :/
They are early roman shields.. Not the square shields used in the time with Julius Ceasar.
Could you post a link to a reference picture because I have never seen those shields before
You got to remember that the roman empire didn't last for a few decades... they hung around for centuries. So for a way to keep expanding their empire, the romans had to be better equiped and stronger to face new challenges.
I think (although not nearly 70% sure) these round shields was used during the punic wars with Carthage, several hundered years before Julius Caesar came about. They're still pretty cool though :P
