Roman Legionnarire's Battle Shield

The Legionnaire's Battle Shield was an indispensable component of the warriors of the Roman Empire. They often weighed as much as 20 lbs and they had to be carried on their person during long marches that could exceed 20 miles per day. Combined with their armor and other weapons the Legionnaire was expected to carry over 70 lbs of weaponry and armor.

This is an all metal, hand painted shield protected the troops in close combat from sword, spears, arrows and rock assaults.

This is a Great Shield for medieval reenactments.
