It is identity. Maximus’ round buckler carries the story of a soldier turned legend, its hammered face and carved figures catching torchlight between clashing blades. This replica leans on deep screen-reference study to lock in the proportions, ring widths, and relief band so the silhouette reads instantly from across a room. In hand it feels right: dense, cool metallic finish up front, real leather and hardware at the back, and a balanced center that sits steady on the forearm. Built in the Props \u0026amp; Pixels Perth workshop, it arrives ready to wear or mount.
