Ancient Roman scutum (shield). #ancientrome #scutum #history #ancienthistory

I've never seen it in a video - only pictures. Absolutely beautiful! Is this in the British Museum's "Legion" exhibit?

I would hide in the museum until it closed 😂 then geek out all night.

What’s the back story behind the scutum where was it found how did it survive intact????

There are more of them in private collection and yes they're all red
