First of all, as I'm new here,
Hi everyone.
I've been reading quite a few of the posts in this agora (forum) for some time and I have to admit that I'm most impressed by the people participating in the discussions here. Also I'm a history maniac (oh, how original) and so I decided to enlist.
My main interest lies with the development of the Hellenic shield from the archaic dypilon shield up until the Hellenistic thyraios.
I'm planning on starting a reconstruction of a dypilon first and moving my way "up" chronologically.
Any comments, ideas, technical advise especially, would be most welcome.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
