Paul, do you have any references to secondary literature on an archaic wicker aspis? I know of two references in the primary sources to Greek wicker aspides in the historical period. Previously I had guessed they were peltai since a gerron, a thureos, and a pelte are species of aspis.
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
