Deepeeka Shields

This hand-crafted Scottish Targe is a very well made replica of an original that was captured at the Battle of Culloden and now resides in the Royal Armouries Collection at the Tower of London.

It is constructed from wood with a premium quality tooled leather face, suede back and decorative brass studs. A detachable spike is included on the rear but this is not a feature that the original would have included at the battle but rather a Victorian "improvement".

The leather covering may contain some natural inconsistencies, this does not affect the overall appearance or functionality of the product.

Diameter: 47cm

The Roman Scutum (meaning shield) formed part of the standard equipment issued to the Roman Legionary. By the time of the invasion of Britain by Emperor Claudius in AD 43, this style of scutum (there have been other earlier designs) was becoming more widespread but was not yet the standard pattern. The Roman Scutum provided excellent protection against missile attacks, especially when used in the testudo (Latin for tortoise) formation. Although no complete Scuta have ever been found in the UK (wood decomposes easily), the metal fittings from some shields have survived - there are some particularly nice examples in the British Museum.

Our Roman Scutum Shield is a high-quality replica and is constructed from linen covered wood and hand painted like the originals. It features a brass boss in the centre and reinforcing strips around the edges. This Roman shield is a favourite amongst reenactors and is suitable for living history.
