Praetorian Cavalry Roman Shield

Roman Shields were assigned to every Roman soldier just as swords and their uniforms were. To meet the unique needs of the Praetorian cavalry , the Romans incorporated a diamond-shape design which allowed the shield to function better and be less cumbersome on horseback and in battle.

Based upon original designs used centuries ago, these Roman shields are constructed from wood with a brass trim. The outer shell is linen covered and hand painted with good detail giving it a battle worn finish. Perfect for any Roman soldier costume – real crown pleaser for holiday events and special shows!
