Your comment is interesting albeit a little defamatory. We in the Hoplite Association take a lot of care over our Aspides and have done a lot of research into the construction.
One of our members does indeed possess a Manning shield which yes is very well made and accurate BUT on a practical level MUCH TOO heavy. We have got the weight right we feel at about 14lbs. I would be most interested to hear how you feel we are going wrong and what we should do to correct our problems.
