EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Ancient Concave Roundel with Umbo or Spike: A Glimpse into the Past This image showcases an ancient concave roundel, a type of shield, adorned with an umbo or spike. The roundel, made from a combination of materials, includes leather skins, iron plate, and brass nails. The intricate design is depicted in this exquisite copperplate engraving by J. Hamilton, taken from Francis Grose's Military Antiquities, published in London in 1812 by Stockdale. Francis Grose, a renowned antiquarian, compiled this extensive work, which delved into the history of the English Army. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous research and documentation of military antiquities during that era. The roundel, with its unique features, would have been an essential piece of armor for warriors in ancient times. The concave shape of the roundel, as opposed to the more common convex design, would have offered advantages in deflecting incoming blows. The umbo or spike, a central projection, added an offensive element to the shield, allowing the wielder to deliver strikes against their adversaries. The roundel's construction, with its layers of leather, iron, and brass, ensured durability and protection. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the design and functionality of ancient military equipment. It is a reminder of the rich history and evolution of armor and shields throughout the ages.
