53cm Rotella / Rodella Shield for SCA Re-enactment, 1.2mm steel

This round steel shield is inspired directly by the one used by Spanish and Italian light infantry of the Renaissance, especially the Rodeleros who were fighting with the “Rodella/Rodela” and the one-handed sword, being very efficient against pikemen. The Rodella/Rodela was also the shield that conquered the New World in the hands of the famous Spanish conquistadors of Hernan Cortés and Pizarro. More information...
