Thanks in advance, and sorry for the picture quality- I took a picture of the TV screen.

Salaams Queequeq~ Apparently its aN Augustion "scutum" Roman shield. At least it is very close. Wikipedia Quote "Scutum (/ˈskuːtəm/; plural scuta) is the Latin word for "shield", although it has in modern times come to be specifically associated with the rectangular, semi-cylindrical body shield carried by Roman legionaries." Unquote.
Obtainable by typing into web search "roman shield insignia".
