Iphicratian Pelte & Pelte Sarrisophoron
#50
The Pyrrhic dance was supposed to be originally performed by hoplites,who were making offensive ad defencive movements stylized in the dance,as the whole hoplite battle was supposed to be coordination.So it is most likely that these shields are supposedly crudely made aspides. And they also have the double grip(though in greek art this is the case for many peltes,too)
