I have seen this on many shields. By looking at it I would assume it represented 'A' for Athens, or Athena. However, I have seen pictures depicting Spartans and Macedonians with this on their shields. While they would still pay homage to Athena, would they all use the same design? So anyway, what is the scoop on this?<br>

P.S. Finally! I have a book ordered so I will not be bothering you with so many questions! Thanks a lot for your patience! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p208.ezboard.com/bgreekarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=spatha190>Spatha190</A> at: 3/28/05 6:47<br></i>
