Eric XIV's Parade Round Shield (supports 3D printing)
Eric XIV (1533-1577) was the second monarch of Sweden's Vasa Dynasty. After his coronation in 1560, he began to compete for Baltic hegemony. During his reign, he led the Seven Years War in the North (1563-1570). He pursued a centralized policy but was paranoid and brutal, and a power struggle broke out with his brother John III. He was deposed in 1568 and imprisoned for life. Although his rule was known for its military and artistic achievements, the internal turmoil eventually led to his dethronement.
The Roman Shield in the movie The Eagle
A large, curved shield with a simple and effective design, it was used from the end of the Republic until about 300 AD. Made of three layers of plywood with an outer layer of iron or bronze strips, it is strong and light, weighing about 15 pounds. Capable of covering from the soldier's shoulder to the knee, wide enough to allow the soldier to squat completely hide behind it. Its curved design provides excellent side protection, both in charge and at rest. The design of the shield was inspired by the movie "The Eagle", which is about the LegioIX, the Ninth Legion, which existed in the UK about 100 years later.

Viking shields are typically made of wood and covered with metal or leather to increase their strength and durability.

The center of a shield usually has a metal round shield ornament, which may be engraved with patterns, symbols, or motifs to display the owner's identity and the family's emblem. They not only showcase a part of ancient Nordic culture and warfare methods, but also become precious witnesses to the history of the Viking Age.
