In battle, Pallas proves he is a warrior, killing many Rutulians. [2] Pallas is often compared to the Rutulian Lausus, son of Mezentius, who also dies young in battle. [3] Tragically, however, Pallas is eventually killed by Turnus, [4] who takes his sword-belt, which is decorated with the scene of the fifty slaughtered bridegrooms, as a spoil. [5]
In Book X, Turnus slays the son of Evander, the young prince Pallas. As he gloats over the killing, he takes as a spoil of war Pallas' sword belt and puts it on. Enraged, Aeneas seeks out the Rutulian King with full intent of killing him. Virgil marks the death of Pallas by mentioning the inevitable downfall of Turnus.

Aeneas defeats Turnus, by Luca Giordano, 1634–1705. Though Virgil's sweeping descriptions cannot be seen, Aeneas is holding his shield in his left hand. The Shield of Aeneas is the shield that Aeneas receives from the god Vulcan in Book VIII of Virgil's Aeneid to aid in his war against the Rutuli. Imprinted on the front of the shield is a ...
