Almond-shaped shield made of historiated iron, a replica of the parade plaque of Henry II of France 60 x 43 cm The battle scene in the center depicts the victory of Hannibal and the Carthaginians over the Romans at Cannae in Apulia in 216 BC during the Second Punic War, which in this case could be interpreted as an allusion to France’s struggle against the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century. The original, dating from c. 1555, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
