Depending on its historical design, physical size, and modern application, a shield goes by many specific alternative names. Historical variants include the small round buckler, the Roman rectangular scutum, the classical Greek hoplon, and medieval kite shields. In modern specialized industries, protective barriers are called face shields, heat shields, electromagnetic shields, radiation aprons, or self-adhering roof ice shields, each tailored to defend against specific environmental hazards.
