Design notes: "There is not much evidence of shield designs for Republican roman shields, but the fact that Early Imperial Roman and Later Roman shelds were highly decorated leads me to suspect Republican Roman shields would be decorated as well. They were such large shields just cryng out for a unit Blazon for Identification purposes! Eagle wings, Laurel wreaths, wild boars are all wideley used in Roman art and serve to give the unit an identity. Lightning Bolts seem to be from the Early Imperial period and possibly an influence from conquered Celtic tribes in the Later Republic."
