Enhance your Roman kit with a shield built to traditional standards:

• Traditional Wood & Leather Build: This Roman Cavalry Shield is constructed from high-quality wood and covered on both sides with genuine leather. This layering provides the authentic thickness and durability required for a functional-style historical piece.
• Striking Imperial Iconography: The curved face is adorned with golden leather wings and the thunderbolts of Jupiter—the supreme Roman deity. These symbols are not just decorative but were intended to strike fear into the enemies of Rome.
• Blackened Steel Umbo (Boss): At the centre lies a blackened steel boss, providing vital protection for the hand-grip and adding a formidable, battle-ready look to the Oval Scutum.
• Ready for Action: The reverse side is equipped with sturdy arm straps, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit during marches or historical demonstrations.
• Impressive Proportions: Standing at 99 cm (39 in) tall, the shield offers substantial coverage for the rider while maintaining the classic oval silhouette of the Clipeus.
