In this video I talk about the Viking round shield compared to other types, like the Roman scutum (also centergrip) as well medieval kite and heater shields (strapped). Each one has its own uses, benefits and drawbacks. There are factors like maneuverability, weight, and construction / durability (thickness, single-layer planks vs. plywood, etc).
A more general video about shields and bucklers (as opposed to two-handed weapons or single-handed sword with or without parrying dagger or other off-hand weapon):
