Large steel shield

Large steel shield was a tall, rectangular steel shield, with curved edges, usually decorated with the markings of the Yodotai Legionnaire. It protected the legionnaire from the knees to the neck. The first line of Yodatai legionnaires could hold the shields together in front of them, creating a wall of defense. The rest of the unit throws javelins until the unit entered hand to hand combat.
