The clipeus was a small round shield made of bronze which was carried on the arm. It was later replaced by the parma and the scutum.

The parma was a round shield which was a 91 centimetres (36 in.) in diameter and was made of metal.

The scutum was originally oval and curved and was made of two sheets or strips of bentwood glued together to make a convex curve to deflect javelins and blows. It was covered with canvas and hide and the edges were bound in rawhide or iron. Later it scutum in shape and became rectangular. As they were also curved, they formed a semi-cylinder. They had a round boss of bronze, brass or iron at the centre.
