Description

Illustration of shields from the 13th century from the book "History of Costumes of Peoples Throughout the Centuries" by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934.. It is noted from the handwritten statutes of Ferrara from 1268 and a later one from the Republic of Modena that each soldier was required to have a cassettum, greaves and shin guards, iron gloves, an iron cap or helmet, a helm, lance, and shield, as well as a sword, spontoon, dagger, and a good horse saddle. The shields generally used by Italians were the scudo, rotella, brocchiere, targa, and pavese (from the city of Pavia), varying by shape and material (they could be made of copper, steel, wood, and leather).
Illustrazione di scudi di cavalieri del XIII secolo dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. Si rileva dagli statuti ferraresi manoscritti del 1268 e in uno posteriore della Repubblica di Modena, che ciascun soldato era tenuto ad avere panciera o cassettum, gambiere e schinieri, guanti di ferro, cappellina o cappello di ferro, elmo, lancia e scudo, spada, spontone, coltello e buona sella da cavallo. Gli scudi generalmente usati dagli italiani erano lo scudo, la rotella, il brocchiere, la targa e il pavese (dalla città di Pavia), a seconda della loro forma e del materiale (potevano essere di rame, acciaio, legno e cuoio).
