	'''Round shields''' are flat shields (although there is some speculation that some may have had a slight conical shape to the shield) particulary associated with the [[Saxons]] and [[Vikings]]. They have metal bosses in the centre riveted to the wooden planked body which could be up to 95cm in diameter. Behind the shield is a wooden or metal crossbar to act as a handle. The face and back of the shield could be covered in leather and painted.

	[[SCA]] round shields are typically made of plywood.
