Corners don't get caught on crap and slashes are deflected tangentially around the circumference rather than cleaving the shield itself.

- mhb 19y agoThanks. Based on some shield images (http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=mozclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=shield&um=1 http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=mozclient&ie=UT...) it looks like there are non-circular shapes which provide at least some of those benefits as well as possibly improved coverage of an elongated object, like a soldier.
