Greek Hoplite Shield, 23-Inch, Embossed Boss
SKU: AH3721This metal shield with leather covering and an embossed boss measures 23 inches in diameter. The historical Greek hoplite shield, properly called the aspis (often popularly called the hoplon), was a deeply dished wooden shield distinguished by its unique two-point Argive grip. Rather than a simple central handle, the Argive grip placed an armband, or porpax, at the centre for the forearm, with a separate handle, the antilabe, near the rim for the hand — a genuinely distinctive design among ancient shields.

Dura-Europos Legionary Scutum, Museum Pattern
SKU: AH6718LScutum is the Latin word for shield, though in modern usage it has come to specifically mean the rectangular, semi-cylindrical body shield carried by Roman legionaries. This reproduction is modelled on the Dura-Europos scutum, the only surviving example of this classic semi-cylindrical form, excavated from a Syrian frontier city destroyed in 256 AD and now held at the Yale University Art Gallery. The original was built from three layers of thin wooden strips covered in painted fabric and hide, decorated with an eagle and laurel wreath, winged Victories, and a lion — decoration this reproduction recreates.

In the medieval period, it was a common sight to see a knight’s heraldry emblazoned on his shield, a system of identification that let allies and enemies alike recognise a warrior at a glance amid the chaos of battle. This wooden Crusader shield features a black and white rampant lion as its main charge, one of the most common heraldic beasts across medieval Europe. The rampant lion, shown rearing on its hind legs, symbolised courage and nobility, a popular choice across countless noble and knightly coats of arms.

Praetorian Guard Oval Scutum
SKU: AH6710The Praetorians used an oval shield early in their history, a form confirmed by a surviving tombstone from Aquileia, in continuous use into the reign of Domitian (81 to 96 AD). This distinguishes Praetorian shield practice from the rectangular scutum more commonly associated with the ordinary legionary of the same period. This reproduction recreates that oval Praetorian pattern, styled after Rome’s elite imperial bodyguard.
