[Fallout - New Vegas] If The Legion bases their entire military on that of Ancient Rome, why do they never-ever make use of any shields?

Shields of a weight that humans can realistically carry in battle are useless against firearms and explosives such as were not uncommon in the wasteland at that point. If the Legion sets up a tortoise formation like Rome of old, all someone has to do is throw a stick of dynamite in the middle of the group to take them out or at least disrupt their formation.
