The Aegis Shield is a replica of Thalia's father's shield. It has the head of the gorgon Medusa molded into the bronze, and it is well known to be the shield of Zeus. Just seeing it causes Dr. Thorn to be afraid. The shield saves her from Dr. Thorn's large claw that tries to slice her in half in Chapter 2.
