round shield
Disc-shaped armor piece
A round shield is a circular defensive implement held by a handle or strapped to the arm, used historically in combat to deflect blows and projectiles.
The shape allowed warriors to redirect strikes from any angle.
Round shields appear across cultures—from Viking and Greek hoplite shields to Scottish targes: The warriors locked their round shields together to form a wall.
