	History
	In the days of the Ancient Rome, Roman soldiers often wielded round shields called aspidai (άσπιδαι) by the Greeks, in the style of Greek hoplites. It is unknown when exactly the curved scutum came into use. The scutum of the Roman Republic was oval and semi-cylindrical, and was probably derived from shields used by the Italian Celts or from the Greek Thureos. The oval scutum is depicted on the Altar of Domitius Ahenobarbus in Rome, the Aemilius Paullus monument at Delphi, and there is an actual example found at Kasr el-Harit in Egypt. Gradually the oval scutum evolved into the rectangular (or sub-rectangular) type of the early Roman Empire. By the end of the 3rd century AD the rectangular scutum seems to have disappeared. Fourth century archaeological finds (especially from the fortress of Dura-Europos) indicate the subsequent use of oval or round shields which were not semi-cylindrical, but were either dished (bowl-shaped) or flat. Roman artwork from the end of the 3rd century till the end of Antiquity show soldiers wielding oval or round shields. The word "scutum" survived the old Roman Empire and entered the military vocabulary of the Byzantine Empire. Even in the 11th century the Byzantines called their armoured soldiers skutatoi (Grk. σκυτατοι).
