Yes, Connolly is the guy who originally piqued my interest in all things Greek, Roman and military back when I was a wee little lad scouring the shelves of my local public library...
Well, while we're on the subject of critiquing Connolly... What do any of y'all think about his speculations in Greece and Rome at War that the Boetian shield was used by the Thebans to facilitate the use of some sort of 2-handed pike? It sounded like a bit of a stretch to me, but it did seem to make a little bit of sense out of their odd shape.

He who rules by fear, fears courage most!
