        I had to look it up. A scutum is a type of Roman shield.

        scutum
        skyoo͞′təm
        noun

        1. A scute.

        2. A shield-shaped dorsal sclerite or plate of certain insects and arachnids.

        3. An oblong shield made of boards or wickerwork covered with leather, with sometimes an iron rim; carried chiefly by the heavy-armed infantry of the Roman army.

        I’m assuming the third definition is the one we’re after. But it could be an alligator scute, ya never know. (https://animals.howstuffworks.com/reptiles/alligator.htm). And having looked at scutes, I think a phone shaped like that would be all kinds of amusing!
