Best Answer

The bump or boss on the Roman shield was used for hitting the enemy. The shield was also an offensive weapon in hand to hand combat. In certain battle situations, the men would push with their shields and if the enemy had little or no armor it could deliver a blow that was not lethal, but could knock the enemy off his feet.
