Alexander's Shield
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]

Behind the scenes
Alexander's Shield is a Pelte type with cutouts typical for the Archaic Greece period Dipylon/Boeotian shields. The winged scarab appears to be based on the pectoral of Tutankhamun exhibited in The Global Egyptian Museum.[2]
The shield first appeared on the cover of Assassin's Creed: Origins, and was featured on the game's cinematic trailer.
