The dome on a Roman shield is called a boss and it was used in an offensive action. A shield, although its prime purpose was defensive, was also used as an offensive weapon in a pushing movement.
If you mean the design of the shield, it was updated with the times. The early armies used roundish or oval shields, then changed to the rectangular shield, which in turn gave way to the rectangular curved shield. With this curved shield a man could step into his shield to use it for pushing and it also protected his sides to an extent. If you mean any design on the outside of the shield, it was the emblem of the legion, if it was there at all. Most Roman shields are believed to have been unadorned, despite what Hollywood tells you.
Roman soldiers wore helmet and armour and carried a shield.

A shield was a military defensive weapon and was used just about from the beginning of warfare. All ancient cultures used them. No one culture "established" the use of the shield. The Roman shields evolved over the years from the long hoplite ,to the round, to the oval and finally to the rectangular curved shield.
The types of gladiators who fought with a sword and a shield were the hoplomachus, the murmillo, the thraex (Thracian) and the secutor.
