Stefanos,
Can you elaborate a bit about the article you posted about the experimental archaeology tests? Specifically about this part:
"...the synaspismos (shield lock) with overlapping shields could not be executed. When mentioned in the sources it is most probably either “poetic license” or a generalization to describe a tight formation."
Also, I've watched the Youtube videos from the KORYVANTES group, and wonder if all sarissa droop as much as the ones show.
