Ancient Times, The Most Frequently Utilized Shield Type Was The 'hoplon,' which originated from the Greeks, featuring a circular design constructed from both wood and bronze. These shields evolved from earlier versions entirely fashioned from bronze. Shields crafted in the Middle Ages served the purpose of protecting knights or soldiers from direct attacks from their foes' weapons. Additionally, these shields were utilized as blunt force weapons themselves. Knights at the Pella academy practiced the use of shields as weapons. These shields, oval or round, were constructed from light yet durable wood, covered in leather for reinforcement. The edges were lined with metal for added protection. Each shield featured a hole in the center, connected by a hand grip on the inside and a shield boss on the outside. Common armaments used with shields included spears, swords, axes, and bows and arrows. It's important to note that a shield wasn't just a tool for combat; it was essentially armor. This is why knights equipped with heavy armor seldom used shields, and why hoplites didn't wear armor on their torso and upper legs since the shield offered nearly full-body protection.

WASTE OF MONEY DO NOT BUY
Already something was wrong when the box it came in smelled like some kind of animal poop. Seemed smaller then I expected and was right because it was 22inches when I ordered the 24inches. Front side had some kind of grease/oil on it, took forever just to take some of it off, looks horrible on the sliver part of it, the red parts are a very dark red not a light bright red. The other side wasn't any better letter straps have weird smell to it that stays on your hands. Has sharp metal edges that will cut you. The metal on the back has some kind of dirt that I can't clean off. Save your money and buy a different or hell go buy the plastic one from hasbro.

This is custom made
It's is awesome. But the painting could be better. Also arrived with some kind of film on it was able to clean it up to make it look a little better. But looks great I'm giving it 3 stars due to the film on it and the quality of the painting.
