Romans often adorned their shields with various types of jewels and decorative elements, including gemstones like garnets, emeralds, and other semi-precious stones. These embellishments served both decorative and symbolic purposes, reflecting wealth and status while also intimidating enemies. The use of such jewels was more common among the elite and in ceremonial contexts, as most shields were primarily functional. The intricate designs and decorations highlighted the artistic skills of Roman craftsmen.
