Book Recommendation: Greek Warfare: Myths and Realities
#9
What we need is to get a load of kitted-out warriors together and try it. The suggestion that the shields were specifically designed for formation, rather than individual use is borne out by those shields with offset porpakes, bringing the bearer across the shield to the right, but other porpakes were central. Does the Chigi Vase illustration mean nothing?
