To make these shields have not used any of the common forms. I sought ways of ancient Troy shields, Macedonia and Rome and I have drawn a similar one.

Armorial dit "Le Breton"

http://www.culture.gouv.fr/Wave/image/archim/Pages/03082.htm

Armorial "Le Breton" the name of the owner who is linking its weapons "Hector Le Breton, M. Doinneterie the" herald of France under Montjoie (1615-1642). He then belonged to the collection of Count Henri de Briailles Chandon and is sometimes referred to as armorial "Montjoie-Chandon."
It was made in two stages: the first part was painted in the late thirteenth century or early fourteenth century, a second was conducted in the second half of the fifteenth century. It is about a thousand shields painted. As in all the medieval armorial, there are both arms of historical figures and others attributed to imaginary heroes. And Pope Calixtus III neighbor with King Arthur, King René de Troyes with Hector. The presence of weapons of Calixtus III and René d'Anjou dates the painted part of the fifteenth century, between 1450 and 1458. It contains about 950 blazons.
Recognized in the seventeenth century as a valuable testimony, several partial copies were made. It therefore has the dual characteristic of being a historical object in itself and to be one of the oldest corpus of French heraldic documentation.

This is from the same book..
Above is written..
(Empire of the Turks)





And one more
This is what is written above the coat of arms:
(These are the arms of the Emperor of Turkey.)


And this is written under the coat of arms:
(Emperor of Troy, Macedonia, Greece, Great and Smaller Asia,
'Boyemund', Capadocia, Armenia Great and Smaller Walachia.)

Macedonia and Greece are definitely mentioned separately....

Goat

Goat as the symbol of the Macedonians - cf Dan.8.5. This picture, from a pillar at Persepolis, shows a Persian leading a goat, sybolising Persia subjugating Macedonia. Macedonia finally conquered Persia under Alexander the Great.
