I'm conditioned to make goatskin Roman shield covers.
And Xenophon mentions shield covers used on the march, so they may have been robust and made from goat skin. However somehow I believe an Athenian gentlemen could just use his cover to protect his shield fo dust. IMO.
Thanks forn the comments. Shield coveres are very easy to make.
