Quote:Very interesting link!!!.But Ruben.haven't you though this effect happens because of a broken piece piece or something?The profile of this shield is fairly different from the rest of the shields...
I don't see any indication of damage around that area of the relief as it has been drawn, so I don't see any reason to think so. The shield of the dead or dying man on the far right of the scene also has a pronounced rim, albeit one that doesn't project as much as that one. As I said before, there is also that other relief which shows a shield with a rim that projects out almost as far as that of the phalangite in the non-crested pilos.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
