Hoplite Shield Composition
#4
We would also need a reasonably large sample (half a dozen shields of the same type say) to be confident about thickness.

I wonder if there are any good books or articles describing just what we do and don't know about the size and construction of Argive aspides? I glanced over one good article on the weight of the panoply at Marathon about six months ago.
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
