    Default Hide-shaped Shields for the Brittons,

    Jack,

    Wil the Britton factions get the typical hide-shaped shields?
    They seems to be quite populair in Pre-Roman iron age Brittain.

    Hmm, I don't know much about the british tribes. Were they used in this time-frame?
    They look nice though, I like the shape and the boss.

    Yes, they were populair during much of Rome 2's timeframe.
    The example I have posted is a miniature votive shield.
    Remains of full-size real hide shields were also found.

    Yes Hide and Deal type shields will be used by the Britons alongside the more classic oval La Tene style shields and others.
