Looking for help building up a new kit
#13
As I posted earlier and in this thread this shield was developed for a non phallanx style of fighting. Yet by Homer's time it started loose effectiveness when facing massed spearmen who held their ground.
The Lelantine war and Hyssiai (669 B.C) proved that this style of fighting was outdated.

Chris's round shield is a good example for the Hylleis wave pattern and his Beotian a good example of an Archaic hoplite of the Geronthrae mora with the solar personal emblem.

Kinds regards
