- The volume on Argivische Schilde in the Olympische Forschungen series from Walter de Gruyter
- There are a couple of chapters in the Men of Bronze conference proceedings with relevant bibliography
- Connolly's Greece and Rome at War for its painting of the shield in the Vatican musuem
- Giannis' photos of the shield in the Vatican Museum
- Depending on your team's background, there are probably good archaeological reports in French, Greek, or Turkish ...

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.
