A parade rondache in metal from the 16th century

The rondache or roundel was a shield carried by late Medieval and Renaissance foot soldiers (swordsman).[1] It was made of boards of light wood, sinews or ropes, covered with leather, plates of metal, or stuck full of nails in concentric circles or other figures.[2] Widespread among the infantrymen of northern Italy in the 15th century.[3]
