Hello everyone , sorry to dig up this old tread .
so if i understand square shield was optimum for manipular formation with pilum and gladius
then rounded scutum appeared to be used with longer spear
And round shield like parma or viking shield were perhaps with vertical grip to be used with spata swords and more mobile and individual combat ?
have a good day cheers ^^
