Definition
Relating to or resembling a shield; shield-shaped in appearance.
Etymology
From Latin 'ancile' (neuter of 'ancilis'), related to the sacred shield of Mars in Roman religion, ultimately from a root meaning shield.
Kelly Says
The ancile inspired one of Rome's most sacred objects—a divinely-sent shield supposedly fell from heaven during the reign of Numa Pompilius. The Romans made 11 copies so no one could steal the real one!
