I'm with you on this, I wish we had some more images. I am finding that the more I investigate the shields of sarissaphoroi the less I "know". Sarissaphoroi are a far more complex troop type than generally acknowledged. For example- the idea that the smaller pelta and only the small sized pelta allowed the sarissa to be used must surely be questioned, as Ruben suggested, in light of the large domed shields.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
