First of all,forgive us for not wellcoming you from your first post, Michael.
I think we are getting too much into speculation here...about how many sheet workers would be in half of Asia and how much time wouuld it take to make the shields etc etc. The thing is we have no clue to believe they were tinned other than that they have the same colour...I do't rule it out-as I was the first who mentioned the idea here- but all silver shields may have been possible after all. There are lost works from ancient writers that might shed some light to all those questions,but for the moment I don't think I can support the one or the other option.
