Can you reference that? I would very much like that shield to be round for a variety of reasons, but I have not seen proof that it was.

As to laconian shields, it is very unlikely that there was any difference form other apsies. There is clearly variation in the diameter of aspises, but I do not know how much of this was contemporary and within the same army.

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!"
