Seven Roman *scuta* (shields) and accompanying *pilum* (spears) are laid horizontally on a gray asphalt surface in the city of Pleven, Bulgaria. The shields are depicted in two primary colors: five in a deep reddish-brown and two in a brighter red. Each shield is decorated with a large golden eagle with outstretched wings, grasping a green laurel wreath. A vertical yellow panel inside the wreath displays "LEG" in black lettering. The shields feature a central, weathered metal *umbo* (boss). Decorative elements also include rearing lions, starburst patterns, and geometric borders in blue and white. One wooden *pilum* shaft is positioned beside each shield. To the left, several red wooden boxes or crates rest on a narrow strip of dirt and grass, separated from the asphalt by a concrete curb. The lower legs and feet of at least two individuals are visible: one person wears brown lace-up sandals and patterned socks on the right, and another person's brown footwear is partially seen behind the red boxes on the left. The scene is illuminated by strong sunlight, casting distinct shadows on the asphalt.
