I was present for a fight involving round shields yesterday. They seemed decent for melee, but not for arrows, and the mobility would probably be less important when you have a concorporal watching your flank.

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
RULES:
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
-
Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.
-
Follow Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

I read scrotum gang, but scutum is fine as well
Don't get them mixed up - I hear getting your scrotum hit with a club hurts a lot more than getting your scutum hit.
Nice scutum bro
Round shields? That's something my grandpa used to have, lol.
