How many people on this site are going to admit to being rioters?
I have undertaken training in riot control when I was in the Armed Forces here in the UK and actually took part in a simulated civil uprising on an island. I cannot say if Roman tactical doctrine was used or not because it was not expressly stated at being used. Shield use by riot control personnel is a fairly modern thing, you certainly don't appear to see photographs of Pre-WW2 Police officers or military personnel using them.
