Quote:I take it from your post you don't know any more about this panoply, Giannis? dimensions etc?After ages i found again the shield we were referring to. It's from the Guttmann collection. Croll down,you'll find it. However,the three photos i had posted were not all of the same shield. Only the top and bottom. Not the middle one.
As to origin the bronze belt of the panoply almost certainly makes it South Italian, and judging roughly by the style of the Corinthian c.600-550 BC at a guess.....
