The Monument of the Shields in Dion (Greece) is a monument alternating panels of shields and breastplates. These panels come from a frieze originally carved in the 4th century BCE for an unknown monumental Hellenistic building. The wall and frieze formed the eastern façade of the basilica in the Roman forum.
