Quote:Alkmeonides and Megakleides with the aid of Spartan king Kleomenes I
overthrew Hippias in 510 B.C.
The shield is Beotian. It is the evolution of the Dipylon shield
I belive evolution was slower when it came to weaponry.
Kind regards
Ah! I thought that dipylon and Boeotian were different names for the same thing. It's the Boeotian style I had in mind, which is why I thought it was closer to the classical, than the Mycenaean period. Have you any pictures of a dipylon shield?
