Shield laws are legal protections that allow journalists to keep the identities of their confidential sources and information confidential. These laws are designed to safeguard freedom of the press by enabling reporters to gather and report news without fear of legal repercussions. The specifics of shield laws vary by jurisdiction and can differ in scope and strength.

What do the symbols mean on a roman shield?

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.
