Below are reproductions of ancient Macedonian army shields, beautiful artifact that echoes antiquity. The
Macedonian shields were unique in their design and they greatly differed from the shields of the Romans
and Persians. In the middle would be the Macedonian royal star symbol with either 16 or 12 rays, or the
bust of the Macedonian king or god/goddess. The ancient Macedonians made their shields of bronze, but
sometimes plated them with silver and gold. The famed Macedonian "Silver Shields" were the backbone
of the army of Alexander the Great and after his death served superbly in the armies of later Macedonian
kings in Syria and Egypt. The Macedonian shields were used not only by the armies of ancient Macedon,
but also by the Ptolemaic and Seleucid armies which ruled Asia and Egypt after Alexander. Even the
soldiers of the Cleopatra VII of Egypt carried these shields and were dressed in ancient Macedonian
military outfits. These shields are excellent as showoff decoration for a home. Each reproduction comes
with a hook in the back for easy wall-hanging as well as handles to carry.
