[[Amazonian ParmaUnrelenting Phalanx]] is a [[legendary Crusader shield]] found in Reaper of Souls. This item is a Crusader-restricted item and will very seldom be found by any other class. The [[Smart Drop]] system ensures that this shield will usually roll with [[Strength]], or at least never with [[Intelligence]] or [[Dexterity]].
This item shield was added as a [[Seasonal Legendary]] in August 2014 during the [[PTR ]] testing of [[Patch 2.1]]. The stats and visual should be considered a [[WiP]] until Patch 2.1 goes live. This shield was initially just a regular shield, before being switched to a Crusader shield, which is more appropriate given that the bonus property was Crusader only. The name was also changed, from "Amazonian Parma" to "Unrelenting Phalanx" while still on the PTR.
==Amazonian Parma Unrelenting Phalanx properties==
The final stats for this item aren't yet set. Currently it can only be found on the PTR during Patch 2.1 testing. The [[legendary property]] seems likely to remain the same though, and it's obviously of use to Crusaders who specialize in the [[Phalanx]] skill.

==Trivia==
The item's lore relates directly to the Amazon culture in Diablo 3, which is focused on the island of [[Skovos ]] and fairly similar to the mythological Greek warriors and culture of Earth. Hence the lore referencing a slightly name-changed Greek God ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus Hephaestus], the god of Blacksmiths and a famed weapon/armor maker), and athletic games that sound very like the ancient Olympics.
