Tower Shield

Tower Shield - The romans used this tactic with a scutum shield. I can't really come up with a case where any heavy plate armor wearing, shield using character would ever pick the heavy shield over the tower. Carrying around a tower shield for the very few cases where it might be a good idea, assuming you have time to dig it out and equip it, is just wasteful. The tower shield is where things get tricky. A tower shield typically grants a medium wielder total cover against melee attacks launched by medium foes from the square opposite the shield and from similar foes' melee attacks. Pavise comes to mind but i don't know whether it was ever called a tower shield. Also, medieval shields sometimes were painted with an image of fortifications similar to a castle tower.
