Shields have been an integral part of human history, serving various purposes throughout the ages. In ancient Roman costume, they were not only a means of protection but also a symbol of power and authority. The Shield of Achilles, renowned for its impenetrable strength, played a crucial role in his legendary battle with Hector. Moving forward in time, we find ourselves at Queens College, Oxford. A vibrant color photo captures the essence of this prestigious institution adorned with coats of arms representing its rich heritage. Similarly, the Natal Native Contingent armed with assegais showcases how shields evolved to suit different cultures and regions. An advert from Richard Irvin & Sons in Aberdeen takes us to Scotland where they were used by industries like mining and shipbuilding for safety and protection. The famous St Hilda Colliery Band proudly displays their musical prowess while donning uniforms adorned with emblems reminiscent of ancient times. Cambridge University's colleges boast their own unique coats of arms that represent their individual identities within the larger academic community. These intricate designs reflect tradition and heraldry associated with each college's history. The sacrifice made by Lieutenants Melvill and Coghill during the Anglo-Zulu War highlights another facet of shield symbolism - loyalty to one's country or cause even at great personal cost. Their bravery is immortalized as they valiantly fought to save Queen's Colors against overwhelming odds. Stepping into maritime history brings us aboard Ark Royal, an Elizabethan naval ship known for its formidable defense capabilities. This vessel exemplifies how shields extended beyond land warfare into naval battles on treacherous seas. One cannot forget the awe-inspiring clash between Persian armies and warriors who crashed into them with tremendous force using their shields as both weapon and armor. This display demonstrates how these protective tools became offensive weapons when wielded skillfully. Finally, Ocean Road in South Shields provides a modern-day glimpse into how namesake cities honor their historical significance.
