scutum
Scutum is a small constellation introduced in the seventeenth century. Its name is Latin for shield.
==History==
Scutum was named in 1684 by Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius〔(Star Tales ― Scutum ) by Ian Ridpath〕 (Jan Heweliusz), who originally named it Scutum Sobiescianum (Shield of Sobieski) to commemorate the victory of the Christian forces led by Polish King John III Sobieski (Jan III Sobieski) in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Later, the name was shortened to Scutum.
Five bright stars of Scutum (α Sct, β Sct, δ Sct, ε Sct and η Sct) were previously known as 1, 6, 2, 3, and 9 Aquilae respectively.
Coincidentally, the Chinese also associated these stars with battle armor, incorporating them into the larger asterism known as ''Tien Pien'', i.e., the Heavenly Casque (or Helmet).〔Richard H. Allen (1899) Star Names and Their Meanings, p. 363〕
