The Alexander's Shield was a rare shield which had belonged to Alexander the Great, the King of Makedonia. Said to have been forged by Hephaistos, the Greek god of blacksmiths, the shield was also rumoured to be the Shield of Achilles.
Around 47 BCE, the shield was found by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa within an old temple ruin in the Isolated Desert.[1]
