** Symbolic meaning **
The neighborhood decoration is a decorative practice widely used in art and architecture, particularly in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, but also extended to subsequent periods. This technique implies dividing a surface into geometric sectors, each filled with various motifs, such as plant, geometric, figurative or symbolic elements, applicable on ceilings, floors, walls and art objects. In architecture, it enriches the times, especially in Gothic cruise vaults, with decorations ranging from geometric designs to complex scenes. In the artistic field, it is present in the production of miniator manuscripts and fabrics, facilitating symmetrical compositions and narration through the variation of motifs. This technique does not only have aesthetic purposes but also symbolic and functional, visually organizing space effectively.
An interesting parallelism is found in Roman shields, such as the Scutum, decorated with sectors that strengthened the identity and cohesion of the group through symbols and emblems. These decorations not only distinguished the units in battle but also had propitiatory and protection meanings. The techniques varied from painting to the use of metals, with the Umbo in the center that served as a focal point. These practices reflected the Roman merger of the users to the delightful, attributing to daily objects an aesthetic and symbolic dimension. The neighborhood decoration on Roman shields symbolized the power and glory of Rome, highlighting the organization and culture of the Roman army.
