Making an Aspis - Ring Method (Visual Aids)
#53
Giannis,

Looking at that picture, It almost looks like the porpax is only the triangular section and that the band is under it as some sort of reinforcement. There is clearly a triangle coming from the portion that wraps the arm, but the band almost looks detached from the porpaxon the left shield.

Either way, I made mine as long as I had material. My first one is just a triangle and has no length to it at all. I planned on saving more metal, but you know how much I burned through to make my greaves. I would personally use the full band if I had the material.
