Shields in PEPLUM Films

I've uploaded two titles at the SHIELDS page. An orgy of shields in these two films. There are more photos at the permanent page.


HELEN OF TROY (1956)






THE VIKINGS

  1. The shields from HELEN OF TROY are really neat, and the ones from VIKINGS have that Dark Age mystique about them and I bet they received a lot of help from Norway and the many Viking re-enactors that did a lot of the scenes with the Long Ships.
