The scutum from Dura-Europos is the only surviving semi-cylindrical shield (scutum) from Roman times. It is now in the Yale University Art Gallery (inventory number 1933.715). The shield was found in the excavation campaign of 1928/37 on Tower 19 of Dura-Europos (in present-day Syria). The city was besieged by the Sassanids in 256, eventually captured and destroyed. The dry climate enables very good conservation conditions for organic materials such as wood. Since the city housed a Roman garrison and was lost during a siege, a particularly large number of weapons were found during the excavations.

  • Das Scutum aus Dura Europos ist das einzige erhaltene Scutum aus der Römerzeit. Es befindet sich heute in der Yale University Art Gallery (Inventarnummer 1933.715). Der Schild wurde in der Grabungskampagne 1932/33 am Turm 19 von Dura Europos (im heutigen Syrien) gefunden. Die Stadt wurde im Jahr 256 von den Sassaniden belagert, schließlich eingenommen und weitgehend zerstört. Der Ort liegt in der Wüste. Das trockene Klima ermöglicht sehr gute Erhaltungsbedingungen für organische Materialien wie Holz. Da die Stadt eine römische Garnison beherbergte und bei einer Belagerung unterging, wurden bei den Ausgrabungen besonders viele Waffen gefunden. (de)
