Graphic novel enthusiasts and movie buffs the world over would surely go nuts upon seeing the accurately modeled 300 movie replicas from the 300 movie such as the 300 Spartan shield.

Crafted from the finest steel adorned with antique brass to truly capture that authentic ancient Greece feel, the 300 Spartan shield is a brilliant work of wonder.

The blockbuster hit 300 is based on the highly acclaimed 300 graphic novel miniseries, penned and inked by the same brilliant writer/artist who brought us Sin City, The Dark Knight Returns, and Ronin, Frank Miller, and colored by Lynn Varley. It retells the Battle of Thermopylae, famous in Greek lore for having their esteemed warrior race—the Spartans—clash swords, spears, and shields with the massive hordes of the Persian army.

Despite the overwhelming odds, the bold 300 Spartan soldiers managed to fend off the thousands of Persian soldiers with their sheer cunning and superior knowledge of the terrain. Wisely funneling the Persian army into a narrow passage called “The Hot Gates”, the brave 300 Spartans thought nothing of the enemy’s far superior number, and valiantly fought to their deaths in time for Greece to muster up the forces required to completely fend off the Persian invasion.

These exquisitely crafted Spartan Shields from Dungeonknight.com perfectly captures the shields from the hit movie as it underwent direct consultation with Frank Miller himself, allowing for you and your buddies to fully recreate what it’s like to “tuck tail” from Persian arrows, or to protect everyone in your ranks by raising your shield to your right to create the impregnable Phalanx formation.
