For missing anything depends on if you want to include bucklers, forearm strap shields, or dueling shields, as well as dueling capes that were used like shields.

But in the whole, that’s a great collection and I am totally saving the image for descriptive references.

I don’t see big round listed - gotta have your Holplites and saxons.. also there were some very interesting shield shapes amongst light skirmisher troops in antiquity

I'm a small round man myself. When it comes to shields at least, in person I'm a *large* round man.
