## The Scutum in Battle

The curved shape of the scutum protected a soldier from shoulder to knee. Soldiers could lock the shields into the famed tortoise formation. A legionary shield badge recalls that discipline.

## Rome's Tactical Edge

Drill and equipment gave Roman legions their power. The shield was central to both. This tie tack offers a small tribute to Rome's strategic skill.

## Collecting Roman Insignia

A Roman shield pin pairs well with an eagle badge. The legionary shield badge also suits a hat or bag. Many wearers keep a Roman tie tack for each day of the week.

## Styling and Wearing the Roman scutum pin

Wear it as a Roman tie tack, lapel pin, or bag and hat accent. It is a fitting gift for history fans. Browse related pieces in our [Greek and Roman collection](https://www.museumize.com/collections/culture-greek-roman).

## Care Notes

Wipe the pewter with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Store it flat to protect the finish.
