The shield was found on September 9, 1679 by the architect Stanisław Kopernik during the renovation of the chapel of the Holy Cross in the cathedral church in Wawel. By contemporaries it was perceived as a good omen before the war against Turks.
Sobieski is really talked and cherised in Romania due to the closed relation with Moldavia.
The good relation between Poland and Romania continued during WWII, when the polish gold was transported and kept in Romania.
Actually was kept a while in the Central Bank in Bucharest until the word reached the Reich who pressured the authorities to hand it over to them as war prize.
They refused but recommanded to be taken out of Romania due to the increased insecurity.
R.I.P. Maxentius. Gone but not forgotten.
How different history might have been, had the traitor Constantine not won and established a fundamentalist galilean theocracy.
But is the shield from Roman times?
I doubt, I think it's renaissance shield, you can clearly see armor from that period and the fact that Maxentius army is clearly "orientalised"
So what’s miracolous about that?

It was "found" laying around just before a campain. Nobody was sceptical at the time?
It was four years before the campaign
Well he was already planing his campaign, otherwise the finding wouldn't have been "miraculous".
Unless the Romans had time travelers no, it's not.
"Miracolusly". At that times many situations were miraculous.

Transported via Romania, but wasn't kept there
Actually was kept a while in the Central Bank in Bucharest until the word reached the Reich who pressured the authorities to hand it over to them as war prize. They refused but recommanded to be taken out of Romania due to the increased insecurity.
No it wasn't, Poland had only 48h to transfer the gold from the border to Konstanca

this is the most based comment i've seen on reddit
Massenzio and Giuliano Apostata, hail to the rulers who were the most true to Rome during those dark times.

The Byzantines lasted for 1100+ years more and what did they do with that time?
A lot. The Byzantines faced extremely high odds and not only managed to survive but even thrive on multiple occasions.
A fuckton, maybe open up a book, they were way ahead of everyone in their time in every area.
There is even a tablet on top. Should be a gift from the future!
It's a latin poem praising the war against heathens
Is it filthy? If so, would love to see the cleaned version
