The Samnite scutum, originally rectangular, parried from the forehead to the knee and through two holes it was possible to scrutinize the enemy camp. This weapon, over time, underwent numerous changes in shape, materials and dimensions. Its latest version allowed, in fact, the "tortoise" defensive formation, giving versatility to the warrior who wore it and to the Red who welcomes our bottle. Eye to scrutinize, hand to advance, mouth to savor the victory!
